We've partnered with WW (formerly Weight Watchers) to introduce you to the new myWW+, their most holistic, comprehensive, and personalized program yet.
Coming up with a meal plan week after week can be exhausting — especially if you're trying to follow a highly specific diet. It's hard enough to find recipes that look both healthy and tasty without forcing yourself into a difficult-to-follow eating plan that cuts out some of your favorite foods.
Thankfully, there's a better way to commit to your healthy-eating or weight-loss goals: the WW app. The recently improved app matches you with a customized plan built to fit your lifestyle based on their personal assessment, making it much easier to stick to your goals in the process. From the easy meal planning tool to a database filled with thousands of healthy recipes, this app gives you all the tools you need to eat a healthy, balanced diet. Here's what you need to know.
Flexible Plans
The first thing you'll do in the WW app is take a personal assessment. After answering a series of questions about your goals and typical eating habits, you'll be matched with the right plan for you. Each plan — Green, Blue, and Purple — comes with a daily SmartPoints® budget. Every food has a SmartPoints value to help make it simpler to decide what to eat. Plus, every plan comes with a list of up to 300 ZeroPoint foods. Because ZeroPoint foods are healthy options like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, you don't even have to track them. It's all about keeping things flexible and finding a balance that works for you.
Easy Meal Planning
Once you're acquainted with your plan, you can start planning your meals. It's simple to build your own from the collection of WW recipes on the app — or, if you need some inspiration, the app also has a selection of weekly eating plans to choose from. No more scribbling down recipe ideas on a pad of paper in the kitchen: it's incredibly easy to add every meal you plan to cook that week right in the app.
Personalized Recipes
There's no shortage of recipes to choose from, either: the WW database includes more than 9,000 healthy and tasty options. You'll find recipes for everything from two-ingredient ice cream cupcake bites to bison sliders with balsamic-braised onions on the WW app. Plus, once you start tracking your foods, the app learns what you like and suggests new recipes based on your favorite meals and SmartPoints balance.
What's in Your Fridge? Tool
There's nothing worse than staring at a kitchen full of food and still feeling like you don't know what to cook for dinner. That's where the What's in Your Fridge? Tool really comes in handy. Just enter the ingredients you have on hand and how many points you want to use, and the app will suggest a curated selection of recipes. It's ideal for those days when the cooking fatigue is real — not to mention, it helps you cut down on food waste and limit extra trips to the grocery store.
