For me, my oh man moments normally occur on crazy soccer nights. I can’t tell you how many times I have made kids dinner and snacks but forget myself!! Besides these fast food favorites of mine WW offers other tools. The WW App is great for putting in the food items and seeing what the point values are on the ww plans. Often they are put in by other weight watchers members so it is a good idea to double-check the points of the nutritional information for the fast-food restaurants. Even without the barcode scanner, it’s a great way to watch your daily points budget on the go.

WHAT IS Weight Watchers?

When starting a new weight loss program or diet change, consult a doctor or physician about personal health concerns. It is a good idea to have blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before and during being on the WW program.

New to Weight Watchers?? Also known as WW, a weight loss program uses points assigned to food to track and lose weight. When you sign up, you take an assessment that will assign you a point value to eat daily and a weekly allowance. You can carry over 4 points from the day into your weekly budget, which is handy when you need more points.

I have been on Weight Watchers since 2011. They have had Points Plus Value, WW Smartpoints, Blue Plan, Green Plan, Purple Plan, WW Personal Points, and now Weight Watchers Points. The new Weight Watchers Simplified plan is the new program launched in November 2022, similar to previous plans like WW Smartpoints, with some color plans.

No matter the WW plan, they work to help you learn healthy eating habits. I have hit lifetime goal weight several times but stopped operating the plan and tracking, so the weight does creep back on.

Right now, you can head on over -> here and sign up for WW for $10 a month for your first six months.

BEST Fast Food For WEIGHT WATCHERS:

Many popular restaurants with a healthy options section on their menu. Be sure to double-check the WW Points value, not everything that is listed as a healthier option is in line with Weight Watchers. Sticking to low unsaturated fats, and lower calorie food choices or healthy fats is a great place to start. There are no best fast food places or best restaurants, and there are a lot of fast food options.

Subway: This popular sandwich chain gives you a variety of healthier options to choose from. Many will fit right into the WW program. You can easily order a sandwich with lean meats. Load the sandwich up with vegetables and light dressing to make it filling and maintain a lower point value. Or order it with no cheese to fit into your points allotment. Flatbreads, as well as salads, are also available and easy to customize so they are loaded with vegetables and delicious. The individual menu items tend to be in the Weight Watchers app to build your meal.

Chick Fil A: Chick Fil A introduced their grilled nuggets a few years ago and everyone has been hooked ever since. These nuggets work out to zero points on the WW points system. The grilled chicken sandwich, grilled nuggets, fresh fruit cups, and even their breakfast choice of a hearty nut and fruit oatmeal all fit into a Weight Watchers plan.

French fry lovers will love pairing these low-point options with the grilled chicken, a great choice to work those fries into your daily allowance.

Chipotle: Skip the sour cream and cheese and enjoy half a burrito, a burrito bowl, or a salad. This is a great delicious meal at one of the best Weight Watchers-friendly fast food restaurants. Some don’t consider it fast food since it doesn’t have a drive-thru but it works.

Taco Bell: Bean burritos, tacos, and sides of beans can all be healthy options. To make lower points remove the sour cream and cheese. I substitute the chicken instead of beef. Also, they have lower-fat options and load up on salsa and pico de gallo instead of creamy sauces. A soft taco here is still my go-to choice.

KFC: Grilled chicken, corn, and green beans are the most popular healthy options, but you’d be surprised at the low point value of their other traditional sides if you just have to have that comfort food fix.

Arby’s: From their classic roast beef to a roasted turkey sandwich or salad Arby’s has great options that are hearty and well within your points range for a single meal.

Wendy’s: Grilled chicken wraps, side salad, baked potatoes as well as chili are Weight Watchers friendly. Skip the cheese and extra mayo or sauce on grilled chicken sandwiches for a lower-point sandwich everyone will love.

Popeye’s– Their loaded chicken wrap is one of the food options to grab at this restaurant, especially if someone else has to have fried chicken.

These are some of the best Weight Watches-friendly fast food restaurants that are easy for you to stop by on a busy day. You don’t have to skip a meal when you keep these things in mind next time. Finding balance and better choices will aid along your weight loss goals and is the best way to work towards your goals. Learning the healthier choices at your favorite place or fast food joint will make your wellness journey an easier transition into healthy living.
