What are Weight Watchers Zero Point Foods?

On the WW program, zero point foods are those that have no point value and don’t need to be tracked. Yee-haa! Do keep in mind, though, that zero point foods are not Weightwatchers free foods so eat them only to fullness.

With the new plan, there are over 200 no-count foods.

Also keep in mind that the WW diabetic plan has a different set of zero point foods. Non-starchy vegetables are zero points for everyone, no matter the plan. If you are following the WW diabetic plan, fruit has points and you do not have zero point carbs, but you have a large list of zero point protein options.

Here are just some of the WW zero point foods:

• apples
• bananas
• melon
• mango
• celery
• cabbage
• skinless chicken breast and ground chicken breast
• corn
• plain, non-fat yogurt and Greek yogurt
• fat-free cottage cheese
• oatmeal

Check out our Weight Watchers 3 Day Zero Point Meal Plan if you want to experiment with a few days of eating all zero point foods. While this isn’t something to do long-term, you can experiment with a few days of all zero point foods as a way to kick start or weight loss or get a fresh start after you’ve fallen off the wagon.

Why Eat Zero Point Foods?

WW has designed the program so that zero point foods are all high in nutrition while being low in points. All members enjoy vegetables being zero points, except starches like potatoes. Corn is a starch but it is a “free” food on the current W W Program for 2023.

Weight Watchers recipes are really convenient and make keeping the weight off possible while still enjoying healthy food. The wide selection of fruits, vegetables, and proteins for Weight Watchers Zero Point Foods on the program gives you food freedom.

There are so many Weight Watchers recipes out there; be sure to look below for inspiration and make your own WW meal plan that takes advantage of these yummy diet foods, or take advantage of one of our pre-done, free to print my WW meal plans.

Can You Really Eat As Much Zero Point Food as You Want and Still Lose Weight?

Yes and no. Remember that zero points does not mean zero calories. Eat to gentle fullness.

You might be wondering how someone can eat all these foods for “free” and still lose weight. The answer lies in the daily points given for other, non-zero point foods, which adjust according to each WW plan.

In 2017, Weight Watchers introduced a Freestyle program which included an even bigger list of zero point foods with 200 foods. This was so exciting for members.

In 2019, WW made some changes to their branding (now officially called WW for Wellness Wins) and continued to offer members zero point foods.

In 2020, WW has introduced the MyWW program where members can choose between the Green plan with 100 zero points foods, the Blue plan with 200 zero point foods and the Purple plan with 300 zero point foods.

With the WW Personal Points plan in 2021, members take an assessment and have their own selected list of zero point foods.

Now with the Weight Watchers Program 2023, all members (except diabetic) have the same zero point list with 200+ foods included.

While not every food you eat should be zero points, these zero point food choices are good for weight loss, healthy, and can be eaten often. (Plus, no counting!)
