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! 🥪😊
