Most days I love weight watchers but today I’m annoyed with it. The Sandwich alone was 20 points. Mostly from the bread and cheese. It’s whole grain bread and Gouda cheese. (Can’t do the velveeta anymore and I can’t find the low point bread anywhere)

2. Choose a Lighter Cheese

Gouda is delicious, but there are low-point cheese options that still pack a flavorful punch:

🧀 Velveeta Slices – 1 point per slice (if you can tolerate it!)
🧀 Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges – 1 point each (great spreadable option!)
🧀 Fat-Free or Reduced-Fat Cheese – 1-2 points per slice

➡️ Pro Tip: If you’re missing the melty texture, try grating a little cheese instead of using a full slice—it spreads the flavor without using too many points.

3. Bulk Up with Low-Point Fillers

To make your sandwich more filling without extra points, add:

🥒 Cucumbers (0 points)
🥬 Lettuce & Spinach (0 points)
🍅 Tomato Slices (0 points)
🥑 Mashed Avocado (just a little for healthy fats – 1-2 points)
🍗 Lean Protein like turkey, chicken, or eggs (0 points on some plans!)

Final Thoughts: Don’t Let Points Frustrate You!

It’s easy to get annoyed with Weight Watchers when a simple sandwich eats up nearly your whole daily budget. But with a few swaps, you can still enjoy satisfying meals without sacrificing your progress.

✨ Next time, try a lower-point bread, a lighter cheese, and add tons of veggies to make your meal feel hearty and delicious—without the 20-point regret! 🥪😊
