List of WW Simply Filling Foods

Overview

Because diet plans restrict your food intake, you often get hungry, and being hungry makes it hard to stick to your diet. The Simply Filling part of the Weight Watchers Momentum plan is designed to allow you to eat until you are satisfied. In addition to Simply Filling foods, there are other foods you can consume in moderation. Most Simply Filling foods are nutritious, low in fat and low in sugar and do not contain simple carbohydrates or starches. Simply Filling foods are similar to Core foods on previous versions of the Weight Watchers plan.

Whole grains and whole-grain cereals are Simply Filling foods. Cereals must contain no added sugar, fruit or nuts. Cold cereals should be eaten with skim milk or plain, fat-free yogurt. Breads are not included in this category.

Lean Meats

Lean meats, trimmed of visible fat before cooking and cooked without added fat, are Simply Filling foods. Remove the skin before eating poultry. Vegetarian meat substitutes, including tofu, textured vegetable protein, tempeh and seitan, are included.

Fish and Shellfish

Fresh fish and shellfish are Simply Filling foods. Canned products cannot be canned in oil but must be canned in broth, tomato juice or water.

Milk and dairy products, including fat-free milk, fat-free plain yogurt, soy cheese, unflavored soy milk, fat-free sour cream and fat-free cheeses are allowed in limited amounts.
