7 fast-food chains with Weight Watchers-friendly breakfasts
With the introduction of Weight Watchers' newly expanded list of zero point foods – including Greek yogurt, eggs, fruit, and vegetables – eating a SmartPoints budget-friendly breakfast is easier than ever.
But let's be honest, there are days when hitting the snooze button is just too hard to resist and our plans for healthy breakfast take a back seat. There are always those days where the temptation to simply grab a cookie is real.
When you're too rushed to cook a healthy meal before leaving the house, having go-to, low-point breakfast options at nearby fast food restaurants can be key to never missing the most important meal of the day.
Check out some of our picks for the best fast food Weight Watchers-friendly breakfasts below. according to the listing on the Weight Watchers app.
Chick-fil-A is a filling, protein-packed option.
Chick-fil-A features a menu of breakfast items which highlight their namesake ingredient and are sure to satisfy you until lunchtime.
For those on Weight Watchers, the best choice is their Egg White Grill Breakfast Sandwich. Consisting of a good-sized portion of chicken breast, egg whites, American cheese, and an English muffin, this breakfast sandwich is a filling steal at only six SmartPoints. Make it a combo with water or black coffee and a side of fruit without adding any extra points.
If you're really craving that trademark breading, order a kids meal portion of six nuggets (four SmartPoints) and enjoy them alongside a large fruit cup.
Dunkin' Donuts Wake Up Wraps are the best choices for a quick breakfast to go with your coffee.
Unfortunately, chocolate glazed donuts didn't make the list of low point breakfast options at Dunkin', but the famous donut shop does offer a variety of Wake Up Wraps that are SmartPoints friendly.
Made-to-order, these breakfast sandwiches are contained within a thin, tortilla-style wrap, making them perfect for eating on the go. The lowest point option available is the Egg White Turkey Sausage version for four SmartPoints. Many of the other varieties – Egg and Cheese, Veggie Egg White, Veggie Bacon, Veggie Sausage, and Ham, Egg, and Cheese – are all five SmartPoints.
McDonald's is not off-limits when it comes to a healthy breakfast.
Whether you're headed to work or on a road trip, you're bound to find a McDonald's nearby. If you're looking to grab a Weight Watchers friendly breakfast at McDonald's go for the Fruit 'N Yogurt Parfait. At six SmartPoints this dish of low-fat vanilla yogurt, fresh fruit, and granola is the lowest point option on the menu.
However, if you want more protein, try the Egg White Delight McMuffin (eight SmartPoints). A healthier spin on the classic Egg McMuffin , the Egg White Delight features an English Muffin, egg whites, cheddar cheese, and lean Canadian bacon.
It's important to note that the Egg White Delight is not available on the all-day breakfast menu. However, the Fruit 'N Yogurt Parfait and traditional Egg McMuffin (nine SmartPoints) can be enjoyed anytime.
Panera Bread has both sweet and savory low point breakfast options.
If you can manage to make it past the pastry counter of Panera without ordering one of their famous bagels, you'll still be able to satisfy your AM hunger with a healthier breakfast option.
For those looking for something sweet, try the Almond Quinoa Oatmeal. With steel cut oatmeal, sliced and toasted almonds, quinoa, cinnamon, and honey, this nine SmartPoints breakfast will leave you feeling full and satisfied.
If you'd like something more savory, order the Ham, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Power Sandwich. Although it feels like a splurge with an over easy egg, lean ham, Vermont cheddar, and whole grain bread, it will only cost you eight SmartPoints.
Subway is the best choice if you're a fan of vegetables.
Although it may not be the first place you think of when searching for a fast food breakfast, Subway's Breakfast Flatbreads are a fresh twist on the traditional breakfast sandwich.
For those on Weight Watchers, Subway's Egg White and Cheese on Flatbread is a great choice. At only eight SmartPoints, this flatbread sandwich is warm, toasty, and delicious. It comes standard with just egg and cheese, but you can pile on all of Subway's fresh veggies to make it more filling. When customizing your flatbread, be careful about added points from condiments like mayo or dressing. Instead, opt for mustard – a flavorful, zero-point alternative.
You can't go wrong with Starbucks' breakfast options.
If you're stopping at your neighborhood Starbucks for your favorite coffee drink, don't forget that you can grab a healthy breakfast there, too.
Their lowest point options include the Reduced Fat Turkey Bacon and Egg White Breakfast Sandwich and the Egg White & Red Pepper Sous Vide Bites, both only five SmartPoints. For something a little different, try the Spinach, Feta, & Cage Free Egg White Breakfast Wrap for eight SmartPoints. Most Starbucks locations also offer fresh fruit, which you can add to any meal for zero points.
Taco Bell isn't just for midnight snacks.
Though they've only been serving breakfast for four years, Taco Bell has proven to be a delicious choice for morning cravings. Despite their reputation as a late-night guilty pleasure, Taco Bell has a surprising variety of healthier breakfast items.
If you're saving points, go for the Mini Skillet Bowl (four SmartPoints), which features potatoes, eggs, pico, and cheese sauce. You can also opt for the Breakfast Egg and Cheese Soft Taco for only four SmartPoints. Sausage can be added to either for an additional three points.
For a heartier meal, try the Taco Bell Grilled Breakfast Fiesta Potato Burrito. At nine SmartPoints, it contains eggs, cheese sauce, pico, and potatoes.
