Update About New WW Points Plan

For all my WW friends, new 0-point foods have been added—huzzah for oatmeal! It may take me some time to update all my recipes, but so far, I’ve updated almost everything from 2018 to 2025. The excellent news is that every recipe links to the WW recipe builder (best accessed from your phone), so it will automatically show you the new points.

Why High Protein?

So, I’ve been on a high-protein diet for a few years now, and it has been a total game-changer for me. I feel stronger and much more satisfied, which seriously curbs those cravings for sweets or snacks throughout the day. Knowing many of you might struggle to meet your protein targets, I felt inspired to craft this weekly meal plan. If you find it helpful, I could share one or two each month. Plus, there’s a high-protein cookbook in the works, so stay tuned!

For my protein intake, I usually divide it across three meals. If my goal is, say, 120 grams of protein daily, I aim for at least 30 grams per meal, plus another 10 to 30 grams from snacks. If you’re uncertain about how much protein you need, there’s a handy article that might help.

How It Works

In case you’re new to my meal plans, they’re designed to provide guidance, and there’s plenty of flexibility. Feel free to add extra foods like coffee, fruits, snacks, or swap in other meals you like; you can even search through the recipe index. Just keep in mind that your goal should be at least 1500 calories per day, depending on your individual needs. Always consult with a nutritionist to tailor it to your specifics.

Note

If you have kidney or liver disease, or specific metabolic concerns, or if you’re an older adult with reduced kidney function, you might need to limit protein to prevent complications. It’s best to check with a healthcare provider before making any major changes to your protein intake, especially if you have any health issues.

High Protein Diet Meal Plan:

Breakfasts and lunches from Monday to Friday are set for one person, while dinners over the weekend serve a family of four. Some recipes will leave you with enough leftovers for lunch the next day.
