Discover - Low point meal ideas

[skinny_wannabe82]

Hi everyone,

To support our slim for summer challenge, I thought it would help if we shared our favourite low point meal and snack ideas - it would do me good to try new things and keep me on the diet too.

Here's some of my normal lunch/snack options, will come back and add meals as they pop into my head.

WW soups - 0.5-2 points a tin
Minestrone slim a soup - 1
Melba toast (6) - 1
Crumpet - 1
Babybel light - 1
Phili light snack pot - 1
Chicken salad - 2
Thai mug shot - 3.5
Nectarines (2) - 0.5
Apple - 0.5
Skips - 1.5
WW biscuits - 1.5
Sugar free jelly - 0

I look forward to seeing your suggestions! xx

Hi Clare, good luck!
I'm getting married in October and I did discovery plan a couple of years ago which I've kept a stone off so back on it to get me into that dress!

Great suggestions. I also always have Alpen light bars in only 1/2 a point and snack a jacks 2points a bag (I find them more satisfying than normal crisps anyways).

Oh and for that sweet craving Ferrero rochers only 1p each!
