WW Help

How do you generally distribute your points though out the day?

I have been tracking for about a week now & I tend to have alot of points left in the evening. Is this bad?

For example: I get 29 pts per day

I had 4 pts for breakfast - Instant Oatmeal & 1 cup of grapes

4pts for lunch - Lean Cuisine Cheese Ravioli

3 pts for snack through out the day - WW Cookies & Cream Mini Bar 1 pt
A nectarine 1 pt
1/2 serving of mini pretzels 1pt

That's 11 pts so I still have 18 pts left for evening.

Is this bad? Should I be eating more pts during the day? I am drinking more water now too.

Please help!

Re: WW Help

I would add some more points to your breakfast and lunch. Maybe some protein to breakfast and fruits and veggies to lunch.
I have 24 points and usually distribute them like this:
Breakfast- 4-6 pts
Lunch 6-8 pts
Dinner- 8-10 pts
Snacks- 2-4 pts during the day or for dessert.
Are you eating all your points? Are you satisfied during the day?

Re: WW Help

Yea I am pretty satisfied during the day but I could be more satisfied.

I guess the problem is finding stuff that I can keep at my desk. I also need help with find more EASY things to have for breakfast & lunch.

Any Suggestions?

Re: WW Help

Thanks.

I think my problem is not plannign ahead, so while I am at work, i don't have many options so I don't end up eating too much. But then when I get home I want to eat alot.....

I think I just need to start planning my meals ahead of time....

Re: WW Help

My leader always says you should eat half of your points by 3pm.

Re: WW Help

Thanks! That makes sense. I am going to discuss this with my leader on Saturday & see what she say/suggests....

Breakfast ideas:
lowfat yogurt with cereal
I make hardboiled eggs and put the whites on a 1 pt english muffin with a cheese slice
ww smoothie made with skim milk
english muffin with peanut butter
instant oatmeal made with milk

I try to have a protein or milk with breakfast because it satisfies me longer

Lunch ideas:
Boars head turkey sandwich
salad with grilled chicken, eggs or turkey
Turkey chili
Veggie burgers on Arnolds sandwich thin ( I love the spicy black bean burgers by morning star)

I saw your other post about being starving when you get home, if you eat more during the day you should be less hungry when you get home. I know that is the worst time of the day for me. Sometimes I'll have a snack like a Fiber one bar, string cheese or some fruit on my way home from work so I'm not famished when I get home.

Hope that helps!
