[plan you rmeals and budget your points. If you save the most points for when you are hungry you will be on a winner. Keep snacks in your bag for hungry moments and zero point soup is a godsend - good luck on your journey
Totally agree that planning is vital!! Not necessarily your daily menus but defo your shopping so you always have food to hand.
My essentials are frozen fruit (great for smoothies) and veg. Tinned fruit and veg also to bulk out dinners. Always keep a
Couple of WW ready meals in freezer. I love the chicken hotpot and have that with loads of veg so only 6pp and really filling.
Snack wise I always have tons of fruit in my basket and keep pineapple and melon chopped up in the fridge. Couldn't live without dairylea Dunkers (3pp) snack a jack curls (2pp) weetabix bars (2pp) keep them well stocked at all times. Also pots of sugar free jelly are free too and brill wen you need a snack. I also keep a good supply of mini milks and mini twister ice lollies in my freezer, 1pp each or 3pp for 2 great as a wee pudding at night!
Sorry rambled a bit! Also have a look at peoples food diaries as they're great for inspiration! Mines is slummy to yummy mummy!xx
