50 Top Weight Watchers Breakfasts – Low in Points
Check out these yummy, healthy breakfast ideas that are low in points and high in satisfaction.

20 Best Weight Watchers Breakfast Foods to Buy
While it’s ideal to have a homemade breakfast, sometimes you need something quick for when you are on the run. These are some awesome breakfasts for when you are on the go or if you are preparing for one person.
- Almond Breeze, Unsweetened Vanilla or Original – 1 point. Great on cereal or in recipes.
- Fiber One – 1/2 cup of original Fiber One is 2 points on all plans, although I have to warn you it’s a bit like eating little cardboard sticks. I do like it sprinkled on top of yogurt (like granola) or in recipes. 1 cup of Fiber One Honey Clusters is 6 points
- Kashi Go Lean Original – 1 1/4 cup – 5 points. Better than Fiber One to eat plain, but still not fabulous. Good sprinkled on yogurt. I like the other Kashi GoLean varieties of cereal better, but they are higher in points.
- Special K Red Berries Cereal – 4 points for 1 cup. This is a tasty treat, but plan to eat some protein and fruit with it or you’ll be starving by mid-morning.
- Lean Pockets Breakfast Stuffed Sandwich – 8 points
- Jimmy Dean Delights Breakfast Sandwiches and Bowls – 6-7 points points.
- Jimmy Dean Delights Plant-Based Breakfast Sandwich – Check out the new Jimmy Dean Plant-Based offering. Click here for a free plant-based meal plan that includes WW points.

Strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, cantaloupe, honeydew, mangos, and pineapple are just a few of the zero point fruit options available to you.

WW Before and After Pictures – 100+ Pounds Lost
If you are feeling overwhelmed with weight loss, or wondering if the WW program can work for you, be encouraged. You can do this!
I’ve lost 120 pounds with the WW program and been maintaining my weight loss for 15+ years. Read more of my 100 pound weight loss story here.
Should You Eat Breakfast to Lose Weight?
Most experts agree that breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, although some of that theory is changing with the rise in popularity of the keto diet and along with it, Intermittent Fasting and Bullet-Proof coffee. With these methods, people often skip breakfast or drink coffee with just fat.
Still, so far the medical research points to the importance of breakfast. I can tell you that during my 100 pound weight loss, breakfast was important and now that I’m maintaining at WW Lifetime and at my personal goal weight, I eat breakfast every single day and I’m not afraid to use points for breakfast.
Which WeightWatchers Breakfast is Best?
When it comes to a breakfast that is low in points, one of the first things you will notice is that you need to steer away from most pre-packaged, processed carb options like high-sugar coffee drinks (what I call candy coffee), sugary cereals, and fast food burritos.
Since 2017 and now into 2024, Weight Watchers (or WW – Wellness Wins) is focusing on real, unprocessed foods that are low in sugar and empty carbs and high in protein and fiber.
This is wise decision on the part of W W, because so many pancake mixes and breakfast bars promise to “fuel your day” but because of the high carbs and low protein, you soon crash.
While we do include some treat foods on our list below, we mark them as such and suggest you pair them with a healthier option, as well such as zero point fruits, vegetables or a hard-boiled egg.
Weight Watchers Recipes for Breakfast or No Cook Morning Meals
Our huge list of breakfast options has both recipes to cook at home or quick on the go options for days you don’t have time.
We focus on breakfasts that are low in points because – really, who wants to spend the bulk of their points for the day on breakfast? I know I sure don’t! I want to save my points to be sure I have enough to get me through the whole day, although I would encourage you not to be afraid to spend points on breakfast. You’ll be more satisfied and less likely to overeat later.
If I do splurge on a special breakfast treat, my strategy is to plan the rest of the day’s points in advance so I know I won’t go hungry. With the WW Zero Point Foods this is absolutely possible.
Check out our 3 day zero point meal plan for more on how it’s done.
