Hi and welcome

For lunches I have ryvita crackerbreads, you can have 4 for 2pp. I spread 1 extra light laughing cow cheese triangle over them which is 0pp. If you're into crisps then french fries and quavers are 2pp per bag and pom bears are 3pp.

Cod and haddock are low in points and I like to have a poached egg on top of haddock.

Iceland do 3 WW meals and desserts for £3.

Beware with peas and sweetcorn as they have points, but veg like carrot and broccoli you can have for 0pp.

A really yummy low point dessert is a meringue nest for 1pp with some onken fat free yogurt poured over the top.

thanks for your reply a will be going to Iceland 2moro then to stock up lol. just need some ideas as a don't kno all the cheats yet lol. can you tell me what foods if any are 0 points/free?

 

[ununpentium]

Some 0 point foods that I can think of off the top of my head are satsumas, apples, bananas, strawberries, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, 1 extra light laughing cow cheese triangle

Just be careful of multiples Sweetie, for example Mini Milks work in your favour as 3 are 2pp but if you have 2 Time Out Fingers it's 5pp! X

I always make sure that I use it so that I get the most out of my PP so if something is 1pp for 16g but 17g is 2pp, I make sure that I have 16g!x

Nope I mentioned it on here a coupe of weeks ago and somebody said that's what their leader told them to do, get the most out of their PP.x

 

[ununpentium]

Serena I am pretty sure that 5 crackerbreads are 3pp. 4 are 2pp.

 

[Vickylianne]

I'll feel a bit better about "cheating " now lol. Xx

If you're looking for an idea that could be used for any meal, I got a recipe for a really nice omelette on the Irish WW site and it's only 4PP!

Here's the link:

I'm having one for my tea this evening.

Just been reading this thread and deffo going to get some ryvita or some melba toasts as a low point snack to have with the extra light laughing cow. Are ryvitas and melba toasts about the same size?
When I'm starved I have a 1p WW yoghurt (either the layered one or the dessert style one) and pour it into a bowl and add loads of chopped strawberries. All that for only 1point, really satisfying. I always have an 'emergency' WW cottage pie for 5 p's in freezer too. You can bulk it out with either a free salad or lots of free veggies.
You can have a cheese and onion toastie for only 3 points. Many processed cheese slices are only 1p each and the WW 1p bread. I use the toastie bags from the pound shop.
Just make sure you use free fruit, veg or salad with your meals so you're satisfied.

If you like it, get some of the lighter than light mayo too. LOVE that stuff and only about 14 calories for a tablespoon, you'd have to use loads for a whole point!

Melba Toasts are much smaller than Crackerbreads but a lot denser if that makes sense?!? I use either the Onion, Chilli or Garlic Light Mayo as my 'Spread' I think it's 15g for 1pp and that's plenty. X
