Approximate WW Points
Points will vary by plan (Blue/Green/Purple) and toppings, but typical estimates are:
• ~1–4 Points per serving without heavy toppings (like cheese, sour cream, or fried chips).
Tips to keep Points low:
- Skip or reduce tortilla chips — baked strips are lower than fried.
- Use plenty of veggies and broth — they’re ZeroPoint and hearty.
- Skip cheese or sour cream, or use a light Greek yogurt substitute (track in app).
🧠 Pro Tip
For ultra‑low‑point version, omit beans and chips entirely — you’ll mostly rely on broth, chicken, tomatoes, and herbs, keeping most of it ZeroPoint (except any used oil or toppings) depending on your plan.
