Weight Watchers Restaurant Points And Why They Might Not Be Good For You

If you're looking for Weight Watchers Restaurant Points, you must be interested in learning how to make healthier choices when eating out.

Everybody loves to eat fast food... and for good reason. The food tastes good, you don't have to cook or clean up, and you get to be served.

However... it's very easy to make mistakes. Follow some of these tips and you're on way to making great restaurant choices.

If you go to a fast food chain such as McDonalds, instead of ordering the Big Mac (which has a massive 540 calories and 34 grams of fat), order a hamburger and a side salad instead. It's just as filling and 200 calories less.

Instead of the McFlurry, you can have a plain vanilla ice cream cone and save another 300 calories.

If you're eating out at Burger King, instead of getting the Double Whopper with cheese (which has a tremendous 990 calories and 64 grams of fat), you should get... anything! Jokes aside, you can opt for the Whopper Jr. sandwich. Getting this without mayonnaise will only cost you 290 calories and 12 grams of fat.

Kentucky Fried Chicken has foods that are famous for being high in fat and calories. A mere three crispy strips are 400 calories and 24 grams of fat. You can easily get the tender roast chicken instead, which has 250 calories and only 11grams of fat.
Watch the side dishes as well - you could be surprised. For example, the mashed potatoes and gravy have 130 calories and 4.5 grams of fat while the coleslaw has 190 calories and 11 grams of fat.

However... if you're looking to cheat once in a while... maybe Weight Watchers and the Weight Watchers restaurant points isn't the diet for you. You might want to look into calorie cycling, which allows the dieter to eat low calorie for a few days, and then has "cheat days" one to two times a week. People love this diet because they don't have to restrict themselves, and they know that a day where they can have a "free for all" is around the horizon.

Calorie cycling seems counterintuitive to many people who subscribe to low calorie diets, but most doctors and psychologists heartily recommend this way of eating.
