Best Weight Watchers WW Fast Food Points Plus 7 or Less

Updated February 2020

It's going on nearly 10 years since I first published my Best Weight Watchers Fast Food 7 Points of Less article, and it remains a TOP SEARCHED article! Thank you for the continued love for this article. I am committed to keeping the information up to date as much as possible.

Updated December 2012

Since this article has already reached nearly 50,000 people since I originally published it, I will be periodically updating it with the most recent Weight Watchers Points Plus values, and menu options, available. Thank you, everyone, for your interest! Check back often since restaurants are constantly updating their formulas and menu options.

I'm so pleased by the differences in fast food nutrition over the past year. While they are still offering some foods that no human should ever eat, there are so many more healthier options- and not just the token apple slices anymore! Just like it used to be much more difficult to eat out if you had allergies or were vegetarian, restaurants are responding to the needs of it's dieting consumers and the growing global health consciousness.

Fast food nutrition is also much more accessible now. Nearly every major chain either prominently displays nutrition information, or has it readily available near the register. Most even have it available for download on their websites. I've added links to them here as well.

I've also taken your poll results into account and organized the restaurants by popularity.

The Best Fast Food Options on Weight Watchers

You may have seen my recent article about the healthiest fast food options. In that article, I listed fast food entrée options that were around 250 calories with less than 10 grams of fat. Many of my clients have requested a similar list set up by weight watchers points values. The following are fast food options below 7 Points and their Weight Watchers (WW) Points Plus values.

As you can see, compared to my simpler "fat and calories method" and other weight loss plans (including the old Weight Watchers Points plan), the Weight Watchers Points Plus weight loss plan gives you some more options since the program now compares protein, carbs, fat, and fiber for a clearer picture of how the food will actually metabolize in your body. Either method will produce the weight loss results you are after, but for some people the extra freedom really makes the difference toward sticking to a diet. After all, change takes many small steps- as I discussed in my hub, How to Be a Stronger Person Inside and Out.

I'm not familiar with Togo's, but I'd say it's unlikely they're the same points as Subway. All things in moderation. If Togo's is more of a splurge, save it for a special treat :)

Would the Togo's sandwich shop be the same WW points as Subway' points?

Their sandwiches are much better, Maki g me think ... better taste, more points.
