Zero Point Food List

We love cooking and eating. When it began to show around the middle, though, we had to change some things. Weight Watchers is a game-changer because we truly get to eat what we want and still lose weight and feel great. With the Freestyle program, there are over 200 zero point foods that you can use to help you stay on track and meet your goals.

Piccata

Piccata is usually lemon, capers, and butter-based sauce which is used on meats and fish. We have tried several times to make this one Weight Watchers friendly and finally succeeded. 🙂 We wanted it to taste amazing and still keep the points low low low. So here is a 4 point Chicken Piccata with all the flavor you would expect from a SmileysPoints.com dish and incredibly low points to help keep you on track.

Chicken is a staple in our house, especially now that it is zero points on the Freestyle program. We love cooking with chicken because it's easy to keep the entire meal low points. A few weeks ago, we created this Broccoli and Cheddar Soup with chicken to add some protein and texture to this comfort food favorite. Try it and let us know what you think!
