18 ww points per day
Does anyone else on ww get the minimum points per day? I feel like it is impossible not to go over. By midday, I usually have eaten 7 points--an that is just oatmeal, yogurt and a luna bar.
Any ideas for a filling, but low point breakfast? I'm starving over here!

Re: 18 ww points per day
Shredded Wheat is VERY filling. I used t have a bowl every morning.
You could also do egg whites and whole wheat toast (but honestly I dont find them all that filling).
I would continue to eat as much as you do in the morning and just try to limit your points later in the day. It sounds like you're a morning eater (like me) and there's nothing wrong with that!

Re: 18 ww points per day
don't forget about your 35 pts allowance which you should use. That would tack another 5pts per day average.

I personally don't. Neither does DH.
I have been maintaining my weight for the past 2-3 weeks because I started tapping into those extra points.

Re: 18 ww points per day
Are you doing any activity?
At least if you earn some points there, you can get an extra snack/meal.

Re: 18 ww points per day
I've always lost using the extra 35 points.
Also- A luna bar, while delish, isn't very filling at ALL. And it's loaded with points (4!).
To compare, you could have a Luna bar or a 4 point breakfast that I eat some mornings is: 1 egg, 1 slice 2% american cheese, 1 light Thomas English Muffin or 2 slices of Nature's Own double fiber bread. To make it 3 points, I use egg beaters.
18 points a day is HARD.... but totally doable if you use the WW "filling foods" list.

Re: 18 ww points per day
I get 19 so i kinda feel your pain.
I'm a big fan of broth. Especially in this weather. You can put some thin sliced mushrooms and some scallions in it and have a 0 point addition to your lunch.
I agree with the pp that breakfast- can't go wrong with eggwhites. Fruit is always another good option. I
I know I kinda harp on these things but im a HUGE fan of the trader joe's chicken cilantro mini wontons. I just made wonton soup with them today for lunch and they were SOOOOOO good!
Its 1pt for 4 of them. They're little but in a soup it helps.
