Weight Watchers Real Food 7 Day Meal Plan The Holy Mess

Call it real food, clean eating, or whole foods, the reality is that many of us are realizing the concerns about processed foods and ready to adopt a more wholesome foods meal plan. Here is a Weight Watchers Real Food 7 Day Meal Plan to use for your Weight Loss journey.

Weight Watchers Clean Eating 7 day meal plan — Use this 7 day meal plan to eat clean on WW Freestyle.

What is included in a Real Food Eating Plan?

The goal is no (or as few as possible) processed foods for this week. Here are the criteria I use when determining if a food is a whole food or not.

If the food is as God created it, and your great-grandparents would have recognized it, it’s a whole food.
When you have to choose a processed food, choose one with the least amount of ingredients as possible.
Most breads are highly processed. I avoid them when eating only whole foods. Potatoes, brown rice, quinoa, and other whole grains are fine.
Some people don’t consider dairy a whole food, especially as its processed these days. I use milk, Greek Yogurt, and cheese in small amounts. If you prefer, use an alternative.

Green, Yellow, and Red Light Foods For Eating Whole Foods on Weight Watchers

Here are what I consider to be Green, Yellow, and Red Light foods when eating clean on Weight Watchers.

Note about Real Food in Recipes

Here are some notes about making sure your meals are a clean eating as possible.

For the WW teriyaki chicken meal prep and the Instant Pot Egg Roll Bowl, swap soy sauce for coconut aminos or make your own soy sauce alternative here.

For the No Sugar fast and easy ribs, you can eat them with only the rub and they are quite delicious! If you love BBQ sauce, I enjoy G Huges Sugar Free BBQ sauce (0 points) but this is not a whole food so I’ll leave that decision up to you.

To make your own clean eating BBQ sauce, this is a good recipe from Clean Eating Magazine. Note that this has calories from natural sugars so you’ll need to use weekly flex points to enjoy it. When I was eating keto I made my own BBQ sauce and it’s not that difficult. If you are the only one in the family using it, I recommend freezing it in individual portions so you have it for future meals.
