I don't like cooking very well, so I'm really going to have to start I think. I also have trouble some days getting all 29 points. I may have one left and then have to go eat something to get it all. I was told not to go below the 29 points so I make sure I don't.

For lunch, I love to have a wheat pita pocket with turkey and cheese. So filling and only 4 points. I'm in this for the long haul. I need to get on the WW site and print out some easy recipes.

Yes, you do have to eat all your points. I usually have no problem eating enough! LOL. :rolleyes:

Here's some ideas for you:
Baked skinless chicken leg (regular size, not a huge one) with nothing on it is 1 point. With a fat free sauce like bbq, its 2 pts, so you could have 2 bbq chicken legs for 4 pts plus your rice and veggies. If you start with a 4oz boneless skinless chicken breast, it will be 4pts for the one with sauce.

I have lots of WW recipes. If you're looking for something, let me know and I can find one for you. Their cookbooks are really good, and you can find used ones pretty inexpensively on ebay.
