Ive always felt WW gives me the best of both worlds. It absolutely encourages cooking from scratch but if youre on the go you can grab something like a pack of pre packed sandwiches and point them. Its much easier for socialising too, When Im on WW I always have my Eating Out Guide with me, I love that if I take my nieces out to KFC etc I can have something know EXACTLY how many points are in it and totally work it into my allowance for the day
