Knowing the best fast food options for Weight Watchers before I leave the house can help you stay on track. Eating out occasionally is inevitable in my house. We all know that points are higher for foods when we dine out and it helps to know the points going in so we can make better choices. I will show you some great options for all 3 myWW plans.

POINTS VALUES FOR POPULAR FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS

I have listed points values for common menu items for McDonald's, Wendy's, Taco Bell and Chick-Fil-A. Each restaurant has a section under each plan so you can find the points based on which myWW plan you are following.

I wish I could list EVERY single menu item, but I haven't had time to research them all. This should give you some good ideas for a quick meal.

What Will You Order?

I know this list doesn't cover every fast food place in the country, but it is a good starting place!  These are some of the most common fast-food restaurants and I tried to list items that are commonly ordered!
Obviously not every item I listed is the BEST choice….but it is good to be informed so you can make the BEST choice for YOU!  There is no judgment from me….because I have made good, bad and absolutely UGLY choices when I dine out!  🙂  What do you think the best fast food options for Weight Watchers are in your area?

**Please note that these point values are what I got by using the Weight Watchers app. These were the points listed when I wrote this post and they could be subject to change at any time. I did these to the best of my ability, but I am human and could have made a mistake. You should always calculate your own points values.
