Weight Watchers Meal Plan Ideas
Welcome to a week of simple and delicious health-conscious dining with my latest WeightWatchers-friendly meal plan.
Every Friday, I send out an email outlining my dinner plans for the upcoming week that are compatible with Weight Watchers, and I also publish them on my blog. This practice helps me stay on track with my meal choices and motivates me to make healthier food decisions.
Additionally, by sharing my weekly dinner plans, I hope to provide a useful reference for individuals searching for meal planning ideas or looking to vary their diet. If you’re looking for more inspiration, you might find the “101 Meal Prep Ideas from Successful Weight Watchers” resource helpful.
My Casual Approach to Weight Watchers Friendly Meal Planning
Planning Weight Watchers-friendly dinners doesn’t have to be complicated. As a middle-aged couple with our ever-changing plans, a simple and flexible approach works best. I start by identifying a few of our favorite easy healthy recipes for the week and jot them down on a post-it note. I keep this note on the counter or the fridge where it’s easy to see. This low-effort method keeps meal planning stress-free and adaptable, perfect for those times when our plans change at the last minute.
Because I’m usually cooking for two most recipes I make result in leftovers. We are happy to have them again for lunch or dinner. I also enjoy re-purposing leftovers. The easy Slow Cooker Lentils with Chicken Sausage & Spinach we have on Monday can easily become the filling for stuffed peppers on Wednesday. The Easy Lightened Up Lasagna Skillet can be transformed into a delicious lasagna soup.
By creatively re-purposing leftovers, we not only save time and reduce waste but also add variety to our meals. This laid-back planning style keeps our kitchen running smoothly and our meals exciting, all while staying within our Weight Watchers points.
What Do I Eat for Breakfast on Weight Watchers?
Most days my breakfast is something quick like an english muffin with almond butter, avocado toast, cottage cheese with fruit, eggs, yogurt with fruit, oatmeal or a smoothie, depending on my mood and the season.
What Do I Eat for Lunch on Weight Watchers?
Lunch is usually leftovers or some combination of soup / sandwich / salad
This week I am planning to make…
Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken
With just 5 ingredients dinner doesn’t get much easier or more delicious. I’ll serve it over rice or cauliflower rice with an Asian vegetable blend on the side. This slow cooker teriyaki chicken is tender and flavorful.
Cauliflower Rice and Beans
This recipe for cauliflower rice and beans is a delightful surprise. It’s a lighter, healthier, delicious alternative to traditional rice and beans with fewer points for those following Weight Watchers. Every time I make it I wonder why I don’t serve it more often. I’ll plan to serve it with a leafy green salad.
Brenda’s Black Bean Burgers
Veggie or black bean burgers are great alternatives when you want to go meatless. This easy Weight Watcher recipe for black bean burgers (aka black bean patties/cakes) is so hearty and satisfying you won’t miss the meat. I’m planning to serve WW Crispy Baked Zucchini Fries alongside.
Mediterranean Garlic Shrimp
This recipe is my sister’s version of gambas al ajillo that she first experienced decades ago while stationed in Spain serving in the navy. Heating the oil, butter and garlic first is an important step that really makes a difference in the overall flavor of the dish. It’s a winner. Light, healthy and delicious. I’ll serve it with a little crusty bread and a leafy green salad.
Easy Lettuce Wraps Using Leftover Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken
Easy Lettuce Wraps Using Leftover Teriyaki Chicken
I’ll use some of the leftover slow cooker teriyaki chicken to make lettuce wraps with iceberg lettuce or butter lettuce. I’ll add a little shredded raw carrot, chopped celery and red bell pepper to add some color and crunch.
I’ll also make a batch of these Low Sugar Lemon Bars for my husband and I to enjoy during the week, sharing with friends and family too so we don’t overdo it!

Customer Testimonials
Hi Martha – I cannot begin to thank you enough for my month of meals. We (my husband and I) have only had the first week, but WOW, what great meals! I can’t wait for the second week. You have a customer for life! ~ Sharon S.
I can’t tell you how thrilled we were with your menu posted this week! We are on vacation and in a condo for five weeks. Keeping meals simple. I made both the chicken broccoli pie and the broccoli cheese soup for the first time this week. Both were a big hit. Then last night we had your Caribbean Jerk Chicken which is a definite favorite. Made your lasagna soup last week!!! Yum!
I am so thankful I found your website and continue to try new things. I started WW March 2020 (online only) and have lost almost 30 lbs. and am at my goal! Slow and steady wins the race!!! (Just like the tortoise and the hare).
Thank you for all your encouraging emails and wonderful recipes. We’ve been married almost 47 years. When I first found “my friend Martha” as all my friends know you by, my husband said “you’ve always been a good cook but we never tried so many different things!” He loves your recipes also!!!
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!!!! ~ Joyce
I bought the Table for Two eCookbook and I love it! It saved me from giving up on my weight loss journey. The meals are delicious and so easy to cook. Having a weekly grocery list, recipes and instructions with pictures readily accessible has taken so much stress off of me in meal planning. I was tired of cooking recipes that had multiple servings and eating the left overs several times during the week. My husband loves the Table for Two recipes and he doesn’t even need to lose weight! I have recommended your site to several friends on the same journey and they love your recipes too. Thank you for all your hard work in making meal planning so easy! ~ Barbara
I bought the 12 Week eCookbook and Meal Planner by Alisha Hughes from Meal Planning Mommies. It is great 12 weeks with a shopping list which is wonderful. I just make a copy of the list and go shopping for the week. ~ Roberta R.
