Shake Up your Measl

Shake Up Your Meals!

Article By: Michelle Fowler


It's a great philosophy to live by — and an even better one to eat by.
Eating the same old tuna sandwich for lunch every day is, well, dull — and not a very good way to keep yourself satisfied while trying to eat wholesome, nutritious meals. So mix things up a bit!

Pieces of the (meal) puzzle
You probably know that adding variety to your menus will help make the Weight Watchers PointsPlus&174 program even easier to follow. Imagine that you have a jigsaw puzzle in front of you — but this is no ordinary jigsaw puzzle; this one has many different solutions. Now imagine that each puzzle piece has a different food on it: whole-wheat pasta, chicken, a potato, tuna, fat-free mayo, salsa, ginger, olive oil – you name it! Now how can you put the puzzle pieces together to mix up your ordinary menu routine and add some variety?

You might want to top the baked potato with salsa, mix the chicken with the fat-free mayo and ginger for some chicken salad with zing, or mix the tuna and olive oil in with some whole-wheat pasta for a quick tuna-pasta salad that's very different from that boring tuna sandwich! It's your puzzle to solve however you want.
