I have found that I am falling into a slump of eating the same foods over and over. I feel like it's my comfort zone and I know I can't go wrong with these meals/snacks so I stick with them. I am starting to get tired of the same stuff though and I think it's showing on the scale as my loss is slowing dramatically. I need a fresh change. Some new stuff to try.
So if you don't mind, share your snack ideas and meal ideas(breakfast, lunch, dinner) that you just love with me!
I LOVE Nutella but haven't had it in months. I have been very fearful of eating it since joining WW. I can only imagine it's pretty high in points and not sure how filling it is. I am still trying to find a good substitute for good ole' peanut butter, which I love and miss. lol

Yeah, I think 1/2 a serving is 3 points... I find it a satisfying way to curb my chocolate cravings.... and the breakfast comes to about 5 points, which is in my breakfast range. It's not in good health guidelines though, so I know I will have to cycle to something that is healthier from time to time!
How funny! When making my list for the grocery store I was searching recipes on WW site and found that one. I went back and forth and decided to try it since I am buying cabbage anyway and we LIVE on ground turkey breast. But I wasn't sure if I would like it with just diced tomatoes or if I should add in a bit of spaghetti sauce or something. I am definitely going to try them though.
Breakfast - I alternate between a few - eggs with whole wheat toast and peanut butter (with fruit), yogurt with berries and granola/cereal, healthy french toast with fruit
Lunch - In the winter I make a lot of healthy soups/chilis for dinner so I eat the leftovers for lunch. I also like salads and carrot sticks to help fill me up for 0 to 1 points (olive oil on salad). In the summer I like hummus with veggies and deli meat on flat bread.

I didn't have plain tomatoes so I used spaghetti sauce. Use white rice, the brown still isn't done after an hour of cooking.... And I added salt to the cabbage water, and some extra spices to the mix. It is tasty, and very easy.
I eat a lot of the same things and for me find that it helps keep me focused on weight loss.
A few things --
WW string cheese
Cheese bites -- different flavors - a pack is 3 pointsplus
Nuts -- a variety of different types - I do measure these carefully
Popcorn Indiana Cinnamon Sugar popcorn - 3 cups is 4 points; 2.5 cups is 3 points
WW Smart Ones Peanut butter dessert - 4 points
Lunch - Nature's own 100% whole wheat sandwich rounds, Tyson grilled chicken breast, mustard (different flavors) and sometimes Sargento low fat pepper jack cheese.
Can be meal or snack depending on how much - Hummus with whole wheat tortilla - I found a 1 point tortilla that I like to use (note 2 of them are 3 points).
Mmmm, I love olive oil! But it racks up points so fast that I find myself avoiding it like the plague. I know it's a good oil so it's not so bad but I still get a little nervous using it sometimes. lol

Went to the grocery store! Found The Laughing Cow Light Queso Fresco & Chipotle wedges and decided to try them. I found some tortillas that are only 1 point per tortilla and they are pretty big. I smeared the wedge on the tortilla added a few slices of deli smoked turkey and sliced tomato and OMG soooooooooooooo delish!
