Note: In November 2019, WW launched a NEW program, myWW, with 3 options from which to choose: Green, Blue and Purple, each with it's own ZeroPoints Food List. The Blue Plan's ZeroPoint foods list is consistent with this list of Freestyle Program ZeroPoint Foods.
What Foods Have Zero SmartPoints On Weight Watchers?
The new Weight Watchers Freestyle plan, which was launched here in the U.S. on 12/3/17, now includes a much wider range of over 200 zero SmartPoints foods from which to base your meals and snacks including eggs, skinless chicken breast, skinless turkey breast, fish and seafood, corn, beans, peas, lentils, tofu, nonfat plain yogurt and so much more.
While you are always free to eat whatever you want on Weight Watchers, the Freestyle plan nudges you toward choosing nutritious foods by assigning them lower or even zero SmartPoints.
Previously, only fruits and vegetables had been considered zero points. But WW has increased the list to include more of the foods that form the foundation of healthy eating and give you more freedom to enjoy all the foods you love.
According to WW, this freedom and flexibility really works because in a clinical trial of WW Freestyle, study participants lost weight while reporting less hunger and fewer cravings.
Being able to eat a wide variety of foods, with and without SmartPoints, is what makes WW such a livable doable program.
Which is probably why WW was once again named the best eating plan for weight loss by US News and World Report.

Zero SmartPoints Does Not Equal "Free" Food!
The Weight Watchers Freestyle Program and its associated zero points foods are designed to support you in your desire to eat better and lose weight.
Remember "zero" is not the same as "free." While full of nutrition, all of these foods have calories associated with them, so eat responsibly.
For example, it's acceptable to have a banana, not an bunch of them. An egg or two, not a dozen. Think in terms of reasonable portion sizes and let your rate of weight loss be your guide.
The goal is to eat until no longer hungry, not to stuff yourself until uncomfortable. This may take practice, if you like me, are used to overeating to the point of discomfort. It's about learning moderation, balance and you're own "just right."
3 Smart Ways to Make ZeroPoints Foods Work for You
#1 Think of them as your foundation. Start building your meal by using a ZeroPoint food as your primary ingredient. Layer in bulk and flavor with other ZeroPoint foods. Then add foods with SmartPoints as accents to round things out. This will allow you to build amazing tasty, satisfying meals with low SmartPoints! Like we did here with: WW Chicken Orzo Soup with Lemon (3SP), Easy Taco Cauliflower Rice Skillet (4SP), Skinny Foil Pack Shrimp Boil (4SP) and Skinny Southwest Slow Cooker Chicken Soup (0SP)
#Use them as a buffer. If you blow through your daily SmartPoints allowance before bedtime, use meals and snacks with ZeroPoints to get through the rest of the day. My go-to choices include hard-boiled eggs, cooked green beans tossed with salsa and plain nonfat Greek yogurt with fruit.
#3 Use them to create a SmartPoints surplus. Choose ZeroPoint or low SmartPoints foods for breakfast and lunch, so you have more of your daily SmartPoints available for dinner. You can save up to four Daily SmartPoints a day which automatically roll over into your weeklies, that are then available should you need them on the weekends or for other special events, kinda like overdraft protection on your checking account. Pretty cool, right? (The more I've come to realize that managing my weight is a lot like managing my finances the easier and less emotional it has become for me!)

Donna
I went to meetings about two years ago I think . I started out good and came to complete stand still . They’ve changed the way they count points . Is it better ?
Christy
OMGosh, thank you sooooo much! I have looked all over the WW website, app, internet; you name it and I have not been able to find it until I came across your website. I’m very grateful as this is my first week?
Sherry
I joined on Sunday. Where do I go to find out more about points of food?
Martha McKinnon
You should find everything you need either on the WW website or at your meeting location.
Tammy
I’m a vegetarian and eat gluten meatless meals. How do I measure my points with these foods?
Scott
Use the APP, you can create your own recipes, tell it what your putting in the food and it will then tell you how many points are in your meal
Ann

maryann
How can I find out how many smart points and weekly allowance points I need each day? I ordered the smart points calculator, should be here soon. I am just winging it with what I've learned online.
thanks,
maryann
Martha McKinnon
Hi Maryann, Unfortunately this isn't possible without a WW membership. When you join online, the program walks you through the steps. I don't believe the new freestyle calculators have this functionality either. For the cost of a meeting you can get all the materials and this information. Hope this helps!
Helene

Hi Helene, The post has several links that say "Click Here for the WW Zero Points Food List." Click one of the links and it will take you to the list! Hope this helps. - Martha
Janet Megna
I can't find any infomation about nuts. I eat nuts every day as snacks but don't know what number to put on my form.
Martha McKinnon
Hi Janet, You should be able to find the SP value for nuts in your WW App or pocket guide!
Ro
I am wondering if I can use my old smart points calculator or is there a different one ( for when I use foods with points)
G
I first joined WW 1 year ago and then for personal reasons I stopped. I am now back on and my dashboard says I have 29 total daily points. But when I was on last year everything was calculated the same as today but I had 37 daily points and various WW total daily pointers calculators, that I have checked today, have given a total daily points of 37 as well. I don’t understand, as my weight has only changed by a couple of pounds and the difference of 8 points a day is quite a bit, I would say anyway.
Martha McKinnon
Hi G,
With the release of the new Freestyle Program and expanded list of Zero Points foods everyone's daily budget when down by about 7 points.
G
Thanks Martha. You are the first person to explain it properly.
Cheers, ?
Denise Jackson
Can't find the list anywhere of the zero points foods. Help
Lisa Wood
The new list is awesome thank you... I have shared it with many of my groups. The only comment someone has had is that although you do specify nonfat as far as the yogurt on the page, on the list itself since it doesn't say nonfat / fat free, they got confused... Maybe add that to the yogurt description on the file as well?
Martha McKinnon
Hi Lisa, Thanks for the feedback. I'll get it updated as soon as I can!
Lisa
Thank you.... ????
G. Gordon
I just rejoined WW five days ago. Seven or eight years ago I went to WW meetings, and I was able to look up generic foods (e.g., 1 cup of milk, 1 slice of bread, etc.), as well as specific brand foods and chain restaurant choices. I even bought back then a WW guidebook that listed hundreds of the above. But now I can't find this information online or in the booklets I received recently. I'm listing the foods I'm eating every day, but I have no idea what point value to give some of them, like 1/2 cup of bran flakes, 1 slice of Dave's Killer bread, and Panera salad dressing. Is this information hiding somewhere I can't find it?
Martha McKinnon
You should be able to find values for all those foods in your online tracker/app. I believe WW still sells the guidebook you referred to above.
G. Gordon
Thanks. I finally got online with WW and found how to look up points. (The problem is that I have a ten-year-old flip phone that doesn't connect to anything, and everything these days seems to be done with smart phones, including WW. Oh well.)
I appreciate your help.
eman
thank you very much for your help and I just have a question
do we count 3 0 point foods and the fourth is counted or not ?
thanks again
Pat
Thank you so much for the post. I love your up-to-date list!! It's so hard to find a complete list that's current.
Kathy Bayne
I am a life-time member of WW. How do I find out how many points I can still have if I do the FREE FOOD style. I now can have 25 according to my weight.
