Weight Watchers Weekly Meal Plan (Mar 6 – Mar 12)
Weight Watchers Friendly Meal Planning Ideas
Every Friday I send out an email with what I’m planning to eat for dinner in the coming week which I also archive here on the blog. It helps keep me accountable and I hope you find it helpful as well.
The Benefits of Weekly Meal Planning
Getting dinner on the table is so much easier when you’ve planned what you’re cooking and eating ahead of time and done the grocery shopping. It’s the only thing that prevents me from resorting to fast food or takeout more often than I should.
Every time I get out of the meal planning habit and resort to take-out, restaurants, and snacking on junk, it’s amazing how crappy I feel and how quickly the pounds pack on.
The Key to Eating Well is Cooking
When you’re trying to eat well, not cooking isn’t an option. At least for me anyway. There are just too many unknowns (hidden sugar, flour, fats, chemicals, points), too many temptations, and portions are way too large for you to routinely eat well on take-out or pre-made food.
The Key to Consistent Cooking is Planning
In the beginning meal planning can be a huge chore. The key is finding an approach that works for you over the long haul. If you are struggling with meal planning here are 3 great meal planning resources to help:

This Week’s WW Meal Plan Suggestions with WW Points:
What Do I Eat for Breakfast on WW?
Most days my breakfast is something quick like an english muffin with almond butter, avocado toast, cottage cheese with fruit, eggs, yogurt with fruit, oatmeal or a smoothie, depending on my mood and the season.
What Do I Eat for Lunch on WW?
Lunch is usually leftovers or some combination of soup / sandwich / salad.
This week I am planning to make…
Slow Cooker Mexican Meatball Soup
I first made this recipe for slow cooker Mexican meatball soup way back in 2009. And it’s just as good now as it was then. Perfect for a hearty satisfying simple dinner.
Sheet Pan Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli
This easy, healthy and delicious roasted shrimp and broccoli recipe is a great easy healthy alternative to stir-frying. Perfect for a busy weeknight. If you the ease of sheet pan meals you love this light and tasty recipe.
Easy CrockPot Corn Chowder
This easy crock pot corn chowder is the kind of WW friendly recipe that makes me very, very happy for several reasons. It’s easy to make with the most basic of pantry ingredients. It manages to be rich, creamy and delicious and good for you while being very low in fat. And it reminds me of the corn chowder my mom made when I was growing up. I’ll serve it with a simple green salad and light wholegrain toast.
Veggie Burgers (I like Dr. Praeger’s Brand) on Light English Muffins and Leftover Soup
Spanish Tortilla with Peas and Mint
This Spanish tortilla is essentially an open-faced omelet—much more closely related to the Italian frittata—than the Mexican corn- or flour-based tortilla, which we in the U.S. associate with as wraps for burritos. It’s often served at room temperature. I love how easy it is for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
I’m also planning to make a batch of these delicious breakfast bars, which I will share with family/friends to prevent going overboard! They’re a favorite sweet treat.

I made both the chicken broccoli pie and the broccoli cheese soup for the first time this week. Both were a big hit. Then last night we had your Caribbean Jerk Chicken which is a definite favorite. Made your lasagna soup last week!!! Yum!
I am so thankful I found your website and continue to try new things. I started WW March 2020 (online only) and have lost almost 30 lbs. and am at my goal! Slow and steady wins the race!!! (Just like the tortoise and the hare).
Thank you for all your encouraging emails and wonderful recipes. We’ve been married almost 47 years. When I first found “my friend Martha” as all my friends know you by, my husband said “you’ve always been a good cook but we never tried so many different things!” He loves your recipes also!!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!!!! ~ Joyce
I bought the Table for Two eCookbook and I love it! It saved me from giving up on my weight loss journey. The meals are delicious and so easy to cook. Having a weekly grocery list, recipes and instructions with pictures readily accessible has taken so much stress off of me in meal planning. I was tired of cooking recipes that had multiple servings and eating the left overs several times during the week. My husband loves the Table for Two recipes and he doesn’t even need to lose weight! I have recommended your site to several friends on the same journey and they love your recipes too. Thank you for all your hard work in making meal planning so easy! ~ Barbara
Hi Martha – I cannot begin to thank you enough for my month of meals. We (my husband and I) have only had the first week, but WOW, what great meals! I can’t wait for the second week. You have a customer for life! ~ Sharon S.
I bought the 12 Week eCookbook and Meal Planner by Alisha Hughes from Meal Planning Mommies. It is great 12 weeks with a shopping list which is wonderful. I just make a copy of the list and go shopping for the week. ~ Roberta R.
