Approximate WW Points
Points will vary by plan (Blue/Green/Purple) and toppings, but typical estimates are:
โข ~1โ4 Points per serving without heavy toppings (like cheese, sour cream, or fried chips).
Tips to keep Points low:
- Skip or reduce tortilla chips โ baked strips are lower than fried. ย
- Use plenty of veggies and broth โ theyโre ZeroPoint and hearty. ย
- Skip cheese or sour cream, or use a light Greek yogurt substitute (track in app). ย
๐ง Pro Tip
For ultraโlowโpoint version, omit beans and chips entirely โ youโll mostly rely on broth, chicken, tomatoes, and herbs, keeping most of it ZeroPoint (except any used oil or toppings) depending on your plan.
