Tipfor dressing and sauce lovers: A salad with no dressing is a little harder to swallow for some of us. Consider putting the salad on the fork and dipping the tip of the salad in the dressing rather than dousing the salad in dressing. Make a little go a long way. This, again, comes back to the idea of portion control.
Because the Red Lobster menu is a little more complicated, in an effort to avoid confusion, I am breaking this list down into categories. Sides are not included in the points for any of the foods listed below. They must be counted separately.
Are you in the mood for some snacks? We have a long list of snacks that are broken down by how many green, blue, and purple points one serving is worth. This is one of our most popular lists on Meal Planning Mommies and it has also just been updated. You can get to the list here.
I am just beginning Weight Watchers Smart Points and thank you so much for all the useful information.. I am finding quite a few recipes on other sites and would like to try them as Smart Points dishes. The problem is that many of the dishes have no nutritional information included. How can I figure the points in the dish without this information? I know there has to be a way and am hoping that you or one of the other readers that are experienced Weight Watchers can help me. Again, thank you and all who leave comments for the great tips and comments.
Such a gracious response. Thank you! This was good to wake up to today. When it comes down to it you made a very good choice that you can feel very good about so bravo to you! Your body still thanks you. ? I appreciate you as well.
Awesome Job! Keep these point lists coming, makes life so much easier. I just joined WW a couple days ago and was hunting their site for the lists you have. They should bring you on board and pay you a nice wage for doing such a good service for others!
Hi Taryn, I actually took the printable off of this one because I kept adding to the list and all of the restaurants did not fit nicely onto one page anymore. I intend to keep adding new restaurants to the list so the list may get pretty long. Perhaps you could do a copy and paste action? You could paste the restaurants you do like onto a word document and print it off that way. Hope this helps.
I went to red robin tonight and got the 2 chicken breast ensalada meal (8 SP according to this), but before I left I saw that they had a nutrition facts card on the table and when I put it into the WW calculator it said that it was 15 SP? Is it 8 SP without the sauce on the chicken? Is that why it is so different in point value? Just curious.
Hello Careen. Good question. I went off of the WW app. When I talked to the Weight Watcher 24/7 person a while back about a similar situation they said that they get the points values from the restaurant. When you use the Weight Watcher recipe builder it does not go off of nutrition facts and it factors in that vegetables are 0 points, so even though the fruits and vegetables of a recipe have calories they are counted as zero. My guess would be that when you factor in lean chicken being lower in points and veges being zero points it comes to 8 smart points. Hope this helps.
Hello Brittany, I actually took the printable off when I was adding new restaurants to the list because they no longer fit on one page. I will revisit the idea of trying to recreate it again and just have multiple pages. If I am able to make one I will jump back on here and comment again. In the mean time you can copy and paste this list to a word document and print it that one. Thanks for asking. ?
Okay, I just updated this post with a printable version of the list. You should be able to print it off now. Thanks for the suggestion of updating the list and getting it back on there. I think this will be helpful for many others too. ?
Hi. I am from Buffalo, NY area where prople eat Fish Frys every Friday in lent. I know every place is different but do you have any ideas what say 4 oz of batter fried fish would be? Thank uou so much. Starting week 2.
I just ran across this website today and I am starting weight watchers today on my own. I love everything that is on this website. Can you tell me if you have any points information for Outback Steakhouse and Red Lobster?
I suppose it would depend on how much you scrape off. I know when doing Weight Watchers we want to be diligent in tracking, but I am thinking you are probably okay to be a point or two off. 1 tsp. of regular mayonnaise is 1 smart point and I think that by the time you scrape off some of the mayonnaise you are left with something close to that. I would count it as 1-2 points. Hope this helps!
Awesome Jonathan! You are definitely not the only guy who has found MPM to be helpful to them. Honored to have you on our site and glad these lists will be helpful to you! Thanks for dropping a comment. ?
Not sure if you know this but Outback cooks everything in butter for the most part. You can ask for it not to be and it takes down the points so that Broccoli would be 0 and same for the chicken on the barbie. Also their basic salad is free if you remove the cheese and crutons. The one near us is really great about the changes and we have been told that all of them should be able to do the same. Hope this helps someone.
Yes, these should be the FreeStyle Smart Points you would see in your WW app. From time to time a restaurant can change the way they cook something and that could change the # of points, so if you see a particular example that is not correct please feel free to drop me a comment and let me know. Thanks!
