Default Help! Need new ideas

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!

WW friendly of course.

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!

I'm making stuffed cabbages from the WW site, http://www.weightwatchers.com/util/p...RecipeID=98991

They were so easy! And so tasty.

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.

Dinner- Various recipes

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).

My favorite snack is microwavable edamame pods. One package is 2pts and it keeps me full for quite some time.

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!
