Weight Watchers Weekly Meal Plan (May 20 – May 26)

Weight Watchers Meal Plan Ideas

Fridays, I send out an email outlining my dinner plans for the upcoming week that are designed to work with Weight Watchers. 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.

By sharing my weekly dinner plans, I aim to offer a handy resource for anyone seeking meal planning ideas or looking to add variety to their diet. For even more inspiration, check out the “101 Meal Prep Ideas from Successful Weight Watchers” guide—it’s packed with creative tips to keep your meals fresh and exciting!

My Approach to Meal Planning

Every time I fall out of the meal planning habit , I find myself relying on too much takeout, restaurant food, and unhealthy snacks. It’s shocking how quickly the pounds creep back—and how lousy I feel.

When I have even a rough idea of what I’m cooking for dinner in the coming week, I’m far less tempted by fast food or takeout. But my approach to meal planning is intentionally simple. Trying to do too much overwhelms me, so I keep it SUPER EASY: just a post-it note on the counter with a few dinners I plan to make. That’s it.

Since it’s just the two of us—myself and my husband—we often have leftovers. This means plenty of ready-made lunches or dinners for the next day. I enjoy finding creative ways to repurpose leftovers into something fresh and tasty.

Our social life is fairly active, and plans can change on a dime. That’s why flexibility is key for me. (You can read more about my approach to realistic meal planning for unpredictable schedules.)

Ultimately, I’m always asking myself, “How can I make this as easy as possible?” For me, meal planning only works when it’s simple. As long as I have a stash of easy-to-prepare, healthy foods in the fridge and pantry, I know I’m setting myself up for success.

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 formula is a proven winner for me. I never fall into the temptation of takeout when I have a jar of soup, bowl of hard boiled eggs, container or leftovers and/or salad fixings staring back at me when I open the fridge!

This Week’s WW Dinner Suggestions with Points

Slow Cooker Thai Style Chicken Coconut Soup
I’m excited to share this great recipe for Thai-Style Chicken and Coconut Soup that you make in the crock pot. It’s the best new slow cooker recipe I’ve made in a while. Rich and flavorful, it’s hard to believe a generous serving of this healthy satisfying soup has only 3 Weight Watchers Points.

Soft Shrimp Tacos
Shrimp make a light yet satisfying meal. By using packaged salad or slaw mix and jarred salsa this effortless meal comes together in under 20 minutes.

4-Ingredient Taco Cauliflower Rice Skillet
Ground turkey mixed with cauliflower rice, salsa and taco seasoning, this Easy Taco Cauliflower Rice Skillet is quick, easy, healthy, low carb, low points and absolutely delicious! I’ll serve it with salad or a vegetable depending on what I have on hand.

Slow Cooker Tuna Noodle Casserole
Slow Cooker Tuna Noodle Casserole, the classic recipe, made lighter and adapted for the crock pot is a hit every time I make it. I’ll serve it with salad.

Breakfast for Dinner: Apple Chicken Sausage Egg Muffins
These individual egg bakes with chicken apple sausage, spinach, feta and fresh apple are a tasty alternative to scrambled eggs or omelettes. I’ll serve them with salad or fruit depending on my mood and what is on hand.

I am going to make this 2-Ingredient Soda Cake for my cake loving husband. I’ll also share some with family and freinds so we don’t overeat it.
