Why should I try building a meal plan for weight loss? 

A Weight Watchers meal plan and in particular, a Freestyle meal plan, is a great way to plan your week! I love knowing what we will have for dinner ahead of time. It helps me avoid unnecessary snacking as well as high point meals when we order in or eat out.

Can I save money by meal planning? 

Saving money is a given when meal planning. Lately my husband and I have been working hard to pay down debt and save money. We’ve evaluated every part of our budget and we realized that were were spending WAY TOO MUCH on food each month. 

Meal planning has made it so much easier to save money and eat healthy. When I sit down and plan our meals for the week I take into account leftovers, lunches, etc. Each meal gets used up instead of sitting alone in the fridge for a week before being discarded. 

Another way that meal planning helps us to save money is by having a smart grocery list! I know what I need, what we already have at home, and then I can look at the flyers to see where we can get our necessary ingredients for the lowest cost.

What do I do if I want to meal plan for a week? 

The printable included at the bottom of this recipe makes it really easy to meal plan for a week. You can just print it out, jot down the recipes you want to use for the week, and then bookmark this page so you can comeback and see the recipes. 

You also have the option of printing out the recipes that you want to use! All of my Weight Watchers recipes have a printable version at the end of the post! 

How do I make a meal plan grocery list? 

There are tons of different ways to go about this so I will just tell you how I make my weekly meal plan for weight loss and my weekly meal plan grocery list. It’s pretty simple! 

Each week, usually Monday or Tuesday, I sit down and decide what we are going to have for dinners 6 nights out of the week. Our 7th night I assume we will be eating leftovers or pulling something together out of leftover ingredients. 

I jot down or print out all the ingredients needed for each recipe. The new thing I do is shop my pantry. Anything we have on hand (that’s not spoken for in our current weeks meal plan) I cross off my list. This leaves me with things I actually need to purchase. 

Finally, I combine the ingredients where applicable so I know how much of each ingredient I need to purchase at the store. When my husband chimes in with his lunch requests for the week I add those to our meal plan grocery list as well. We’re not big breakfast eaters so I don’t usually have to add too much to our list for that meal. 

If your family has snacking staples add those to your list as well. When I’m grocery shopping I try not to buy anything that I didn’t add to my list! It saves me money and time. One exception I’ll make is for marked down meats. If I can get a really good deal on something I can freeze and use later, I grab it! Low low prices on meat is my one impulse buy. 

Wondering where to shop for your Weight Watchers foods? 

Great news! I’ve pulled together some seriously useful resources for shopping on Weight Watchers.

Yes! This post has been updated to include only recipes that are calculated for the Freestyle program. All of the recipes included in this meal plan are calculated for the Freestyle plan.

I always recommend that you calculate your own points based on the ingredients you use in the recreation of these recipes but the points are there for you if you don’t have time or don’t want to calculate for yourself!

Printable Weight Watchers Freestyle Meal Planner Sheet

I like to pick and choose my own recipes for meal plans. I know some people who prefer to have it all mapped out but that doesn’t account for things you are allergic to (I have a gluten sensitivity), things you don’t like (I’m not eating mushrooms, yuck), and the things you have in your pantry (I have a ton of fresh eggs to use this week).

So instead of being constrained to whatever meal plan I put together, you can use this free printable to just jot down  your meal choices for the week.

We label all the recipes with their point value per serving so you can also plan according to points if you prefer! Planning that way will help you make sure you are within your healthy range for the day without going over. I usually leave myself a little room for a snack too!
