Weight Watchers Weekly Dinner Meal Ideas (May 27 – Jun 2)

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

I’m only going to cook four times this week because these recipes will provide lots of leftovers additional quick and easy lunches and dinners. I will also freeze some of the Bolognese sauce. 

Slow Cooker Turkey Bolognese Sauce
I love the ease of this recipe. It takes a little time to cook the vegetables and meat, but then you just dump it into the slow cooker and let is simmer away until dinner time. I’ll serve it with pasta or zucchini noodles and salad

Easy 5-Ingredient Asparagus Minestrone
Talk about simple and delicious. Just toss all the ingredients together in a large saucepan and let simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. So easy and satisfying. I love to make this when asparagus is in season.

Easy Glazed Salmon
This easy healthy and delicious 5-ingredient glazed salmon, perfect for Weight Watchers, comes from the talented southern healthy Trim & Terrific Cookbook author, Holly Clegg. It’s a winner, both for how easy it is to make, and delicious it is to eat. Even people who say they don’t like salmon like this recipe. I will serve skinny mashed potatoes and roasted carrots alongside.

Skinny Bisquick Impossibly Easy Chicken and Broccoli Pie
This chicken and cheddar broccoli pie really is impossibly easy to make, especially if you have leftover cooked chopped chicken in the freezer, which I often do. You can even make your own healthy baking mix to use as a Bisquick replacement if you want. I’ll plan to serve this with roasted carrots or this simple and delicious shredded carrot salad.

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

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 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.
