If you are on Weight Watchers, you are given a daily point value that you need to maintain in order to achieve your weight loss goals. The point value is calculated based on the number of calories, fat grams and fiber found in each particular food item. To eat more foods throughout the day to remain full, you should look for items with 1 point values.
Fruit
There are numerous types of fruits that are assigned a point value of one through Weight Watchers. You can have 1 cup of cranberries, blueberries, raspberries and watermelon. A single apple, orange, fig, tangerine and kiwi also only cost you 1 point on the diet.
Breads
Breads typically contain higher point values, but there are certain types that only contain 1 point. Two slices of reduced calorie bread has 1 point as well as one small pita. Two rice cakes and 20 oyster crackers are also assigned a 1-point value.
Cheese
Small amounts of certain varieties of cheese will only cost you 1 point on Weight Watchers. You can have a 1/3 cup of non-fat cottage cheese, one slice of fat free American cheese, 1/3 cup non-fat ricotta and a serving of low fat string cheese.
Veggies
Most vegetables on Weight Watchers are not high in points as long as they are not fried or cooked in butter. Some examples include one small ear of corn on the cob, 1 cup of squash, ½ cup of beets and 1 cup of peas.
Meats
One slice of bacon, a fat-free hot dog, a skinless chicken drumstick and a slice of turkey roll are all examples of 1-point Weight Watchers meats
Snacks
There are several snack items you can eat that only have 1 point on Weight Watchers. They include two marshmallows, three pieces of fat free biscotti, lollipop, three cups of light popcorn and eight small pretzel twists.
