There is one thing that can sabotage all my efforts to eat healthily. It is not having the right foods in the fridge and pantry. I decided to compile a Weight Watchers Food List to help me (and you, lol) keep a well-stocked pantry so you can minimize temptations at home. These foods are great for snacks or for making delicious Weight Watchers Recipes.
Table of Contents
Weight Watchers Food List
There are endless items you could put on a Weight Watchers Food List. I am going to narrow it down a little so we have a starting place. Sometimes too many options are overwhelming, especially in the beginning.
These items are great for any of the 3 myWW plans because all the plans focus on whole, nutritious foods.
Produce Section Food List for Weight Watchers
- Fresh Fruit–some of the best choices are berries, apples, pears, grapes, bananas, melons
- Fresh Vegetables–any and all veggies are wonderful choices. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are nutritious but should probably be eaten in moderation.
- Save time by buying pre-cut veggies and bagged salad mixes if you are in a hurry. You can also find delicious stir fry kits.

When you go on your cruise think W W for breakfast and lunch.Dinner portions are not so big and you can enjoy dessert. Stay away from midnight buffet!!! Also going to dining room for breakfast may be less temptation and better choices than the buffet line.
Have a great time! The scenery is gorgeous
We’re going to Las Vegas for 3 days this week! Our favorite buffet at the Paris is on our to do list! I’m planning on going off plan and then restarting when I get back. But, I’ve found that lately even when I “blow it” I make better choices than I did 3 months ago before WW. So I’ll start with salad at the buffet then make sure to have small scoops of higher point foods and bigger scoops of lower point foods. I might gain, but it will come back off when I’m back on program. 🙂 Hope you have a great trip!
Did you have tofu on your list? There is one type that is extra form city into small cubes that is so convenient.
Oops I meant firm cut
