i now drink ww wine if i fancy a glass during the week, 125ml is 2 pp, and i keep my fat wine as i now call it for my treat night at the weekend that way i don't feel im missing out mid week.

It doesn't matter how much I eat throughout the day I will always need more food at night wish a nice healthy breakfast would satisfy me. Just makes me more hungry lol

if i eat breakfast i get more hungry too so i tend to have a yoghurt about 8/9 on week days when at work and then at half 10/11 have some sausages or a more substantial brekkie then have lunch late at like 2/3 x

Hi guys,
Lovely to hear some of your tips. I can't live without a pudding after dinner so I make sure I save enough points so that I don't feel hard done by - for a muller light yog, ww bar or an options hot choc (or more often than not, all of the above!). I fill up on veg (BNS is a lifesaver) and snack on carrot sticks with sweet chilli dipping sauce.
Still trying to find a healthy, low points breakfast that is actually nice :-S don't have much time in the mornings so normally end up just grabbing a coffee at work which I know is BAD! (with sweetener and skimmed at least!) x x

Thats cool jeni...good idea about carrot sticks and a low fat dip or sumthing..i might to consider that for my going in my lunch box or something..cus i feel like im nt eating enough veggies atm!! Im deffo with u on the having to have a desert or hot chocolate after dinner! I like to have a chocolate mousse cus they are only 2 points and full of chocolatey goodness Im lucky that i am a cereal lover so breakfast is easy for me! Im sure uve considered it but dont u like any cereal bars or like oaty stuff for breakfast..cus i know they seem like a lot of points for what they are sumtimes..but even if they are like 4 points...my normal breakfast is 4 points anyway? I dunno. I cannot survive without breakfast..im like a beast in the morning until i have tea and cereal aha x

I'm the same,love my brekkie! On hols from school now (I'm a teacher) so have been having lovely breakfasts- poached eggs,omellette etc...really nice but you need lots of time. Back to special k in september

I think a high protein breakfast has been my biggest help all year Favourite is quite high in propoints but does keep me full for ages- one weight watchers bagel with one or two fried eggs. Or even an omelette for breakfast. Yum!

Eggs are a great way to get a protein boost indeed, but you don't need lots of time to cook them, my fave scrambled eggs with feta and dill takes less than 2 mins in the microwave while the toast is on! I open freeze fresh dill and crumble it in. Eggs are one of the few foods that actually cook perfectly in the microwave, or so a chef once told me.

I agree. Here in Germany I've been having 2 slices of toast (balance bread 3 pts), spread with 20g of organic peanut butter (3 pts) and topped with a banana. 6 points but really fills me up til lunch time.

I followed this advice today (2 sausages,poached egg,mushrooms...really tasty and 6 pp) but felt I was short points for the rest of the day! Used to my 3pp and 2 pp breakfasts!

 

[calirose]

Aw that sucks. I guess its more helpful if ur one of those people that likes to snack before lunch. What breakfasts do u have that are 2/3 points? x

I'm also wondering what you get for 2-3pp! I think, with the big brekkie, it depends what you've got on that day. For example, I would have eggs etc if I was going to have a busy morning and a late lunch, if I was just at home I would often stick with my beloved 2 slices of toast with M&S rf houmous! Could live on that, I swear :<)

I make 30g of porridge with water and add blueberries or else I have fruit salad with a yogurts (1 or 2 pp depending on brand). Am not a big cereal girl and rarely have toast. Did find I was nice and full yesterday but was at a friend's for lunch so had no control over what I was eating (eek!) Will try the big brekkie another day when I'm staying at home.

Ah, yes! Forgot about the porridge with the hot weather and all, thanks for the reminder!

I'm off work and had a "big" brekkie. Cheesy scramble! 3 eggs scrambled with a slice low fat cheese mixed through (+ black pepper). 6pp. Yummy and full of protein hehe.
Like tras I usually try and keep my brekkie smaller... because I'm a bit of a snacker hehe xx

Im confused..i thought 1 egg was 3 points? How is three eggs and cheese only 6 points? :O I want to know this secret ahah x

 

[azwethinkweiz]

3 eggs are 5pp. and onelow fat cheese slice is 1pp. 6pp!

 

[azwethinkweiz]

a medium egg is 2pp, 2 eggs are 4pp and 3 eggs are 5pp. approximately lol.

 

[M and M]

<adding that 3rd egg in everywhere from now on :>a)

 

[azwethinkweiz]

LOL! just check your eggs maybe... it prob depends on the size. A large egg would defo be 3pp methinks so I always get the medium ones (feels like more when you're having 2 or 3 of em ) Twas Jemma that put me onto 3 eggs = 5pp so all kudos to her!! x

 

[M and M]

Well, it's certainly handy to bear in mind for baking, as is that 100gr sugar is 11pp and not 20 like I've seen listed on other recipes (not on here! )
