Hey Rachel,
I actually eat a low sugar and high protein diet on WW. Most of my diet is natural and I try to steer clear of fake sugars, and most sugar in general (I only eat low sugar fruits (ie berries) and eat mostly organic.
The high sugar foods typically spike in points simply because high sugar usually comes high(er) carbs.
I eat 5'ish small (5-7 pt) meals a day.
I have usually a protein shake w/ unsweetened soy milk, unsweetened soy protein powder, spinach, chia seeds and berries. Later I have plain greek yogurt (because it's so much lower in sugar) with a teaspoon of agave and oats/walnuts. My lunch is a huge mixed green salad with chicken, beets, palm of hearts, banana peppers, artichoke hearts and oil/vinegar. My PM snack is usually veggies, maybe a rice cake or two and hummus or cheese. Dinner is protein (roast chicken), whole grain (barley, buckwheat, etc.) and a low carb veggie.
I eat this way for many reasons, but a big one is the sugar makes me hungry and I need high protein to feel my best.
But yes, for your breakfast I'd alter it by doing 1 whole egg and 3 egg whites and two slices of real bacon ( I love the Wright Applewood Bacon - they're big slices and 1pt/slice) I'd cook my eggs in cooking spray though. That breakfast would run me 5 points.
How many points in a day do you get?
