Weight Watchers Weekly Dinner Meal Ideas (Nov 4 – Nov 10)

Fridays, I send out an email outlining my dinner plans for the upcoming week that are designed to work with Weight Watchers. I also publish them on my blog. This practice helps me stay on track with my meal choices and motivates me to make healthier food decisions.

My Approach to Meal Planning

When I have a rough idea of what I’m planning to cook for dinner in the coming week I’m much less likely to succumb to the temptation of fast food or takeout.

That being said, my approach is a casual one. Meal planning can overwhelm me if I try to do too much. So I make it SUPER EASY. I keep a post-it note on the counter with a list of a few dinners I’m planning to make. That’s it.

We are a middle-aged couple so I am mostly cooking for just the two of us. We have a fairly active social life, which means our plans are always subject to change. (Read more about my thoughts on realistic meal planning for busy, unpredictable lives.)

Most recipes make more than we can eat, so we tend to have a ready supply of leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day. I enjoy finding creative ways to use and re-purpose leftovers.

I’m always asking myself, “How can I make this as easy as possible? For me meal planning works only when I keep it as simple as possible. When I have a ready supply of easy to prepare, good for me food in the fridge and pantry I’m set up for success.

What Do I Eat for Breakfast on Weight Watchers?

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 Weight Watchers?

Lunch is usually leftovers or some combination of soup / sandwich / salad. This formula is a proven winner for me. I never fall into the temptation of takeout when I have a jar of soup, bowl of hard boiled eggs, container or leftovers and/or salad fixings staring back at me when I open the fridge!

This Week’s WW Dinner Suggestions with Points

I’m recently back from a month of travel in Italy and Spain, where I indulged in all kinds of delicious food—every bite was worth it! But now my body’s craving a bit of a reset. So, this week, I’m planning to make comforting, low-points recipes, especially soups. Most of them will leave me with plenty of leftovers, making for quick, easy meals throughout the week. I can’t tell you how much I love cooking once and eating twice!

Skinny Salsa Meatloaf – a lighter, flavor-packed twist on the classic. Made with lean ground turkey, zesty salsa, and a clever swap of crushed Fiber One cereal instead of breadcrumbs, it’s high in fiber but low in calories. The salsa adds a kick of spice and moisture, keeping the meatloaf juicy and tender. Simple to prep and easy to bake, it’s a perfect weeknight dinner option that feels hearty without weighing you down. Serve it with a side of veggies for a satisfying, balanced meal. I’ll plan to serve sauteed corn and zucchini alongside.

Slow Cooker Vegetarian Lentil Chili – a hearty, wholesome dish that’s easy to prepare and packed with flavor. Made with tender lentils, vibrant vegetables, and a mix of southwestern spices, it’s a warm, comforting meal that simmers away in your crock pot while you go about your day. It’s high in fiber and protein, yet light and satisfying, making it perfect for anyone looking for a meatless option. Serve it with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of cheese, or a side of crusty bread for a cozy, complete meal. I’ll plan to serve it with cornbread. 

Low Carb Slow Cooker Italian Pot Roast – This simple recipe brings together juicy pork, dried Italian herbs, garlic, and canned diced tomatoes to create a comforting dish that practically cooks itself. The beauty of the slow cooker? It allows the flavors to meld and deepen over hours, filling your kitchen with a mouthwatering aroma. Serve it with your favorite veggies, over pasta, or with a side of crusty bread for a satisfying, fuss-free dinner. I plan to serve parmesan roasted asparagus and brown rice alongside.

Kale, White Bean & Butternut Squash Soup – Warm, nourishing, and full of goodness—soup is like a bowl of comfort on a chilly day. Sweet, tender squash mingles with earthy kale and creamy white beans, all simmered together in a sa

vory, herb-infused broth. It’s simple, wholesome, and loaded with nutrients, making it a perfect go-to for a healthy lunch or dinner. Plus, it’s easy to make ahead and reheats beautifully, so you can enjoy it throughout the week.

Skinny Apple Brownies – I also plan to bake a pan or two of these yummy apple nut bars to enjoy and share. They are the perfect way to celebrate the bounty of fall. Made with fresh apples from my sister’s trees, these bars are soft, moist, and studded with crunchy walnuts. Lightly spiced with cinnamon and a touch of sweetness, they’re a delightful blend of tender apples and nutty goodness.

I can’t tell you how thrilled we were with your menu posted this week! We are on vacation and in a condo for five weeks. Keeping meals simple. 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 pounds 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.
