If you buy one of those Weight Loss Entrees at the store

I think you can have a salad with your entree. I buy the cheaper ones, and I will usually have one of those with a fruit and that pretty much fills me up for lunch. If you do weightwatchers, you can eat anything you want, just watch the points.. if you're not doing weight watchers and you are trying to actively lose weight I would suggest pairing the entree with a small salad until your stomach shrinks and you can eat the meal alone without being hungry. Thats what I had to do!

I usally eat it alone but I see your point of adding a salad alone with it to get the vitamins that I need to eat in my body. I have never thought of it that way before

I beleive it would be up to the person if the so called meal fills ya up why add more to make youto full. and any processed food isnt good for ya anyhow dont care if they say diet on it. and ya take vits any how but if I wanteded a salad to go with it I would make a salad.

Fruits and Vegetables like salad are good weight watchers. There are different components that a multivitamins have and those of foods that we buy which are both important to our health. Try eating at Subway their foods are nutritious and are weight watchers.

The meals are meant to be entire meals. I personally like the Weight watchers "smart ones" Peppersteak. It is really, really good. Even though it is a complete meal, it's okay to add veggies and even salad... just watch the salad dressing as that is a huge source of calories from fat. That is what will get you, not the veggies. When losing weight, or being on a diet, don't deprive yourself. Have some things that you like, just in moderation. Also keep in mind that eating foods high in protein and fiber will make you feel fuller, longer. Eat slowly, it takes 20 minutes or so to get the signal from your brain that you are full.

I don't think there's any law that says you can't eat what you want. If you're following points or something, you should be able to tell by what's on the box how many points something is, and can have something else with it (or not!) based on that.

I buy a meal called Michelina. It is very low calorie and low fat, and I always will eat a good soup, or a salad or a piece of fruit with it.It is just an entree, sometimes with rice or pasta. I try to have calorie free beverages, or lowfat milk as well. It is just healthy.

the correct meaning of entree is before the meal or entrance which is the direct translation, when you order an entree in the restaurant it is an appetizer, however for meals it is just part of a meal, you can still have a salad, now I havent bought weight watchers in years but it used to say serve with a salad.

I think salads are usually "freebies" as long as you have lo-cal dressing or fat-free dressing. I don't know how the whole points thing works, I usually do calories so that wouldn't be much of a problem for me. But, I also think home-made stuff is better for you (less added preservatives and chemicals) so I try not to do the prepared stuff too often...

I've never attempted a Weightwatchers' Diet, but are the contents and serving suggestions not included on the packaging. That is, the number of points the entree contains, and then, can you not calculate what you can add vegetable or salad wise to your meal in order to keep within your daily allowance? That's how I would do it anyway. An entree is not a complete meal... it's just a starter, really, so you must be able to bulk it out to make it a proper, main course meal. Brightest Blessings.

i havent tried it yet...maybe you have to follow whats the direction on it...

I eat them alone. But, usually am still hungry. Eating a salad with them is a very good idea. Plus you would have the extra benefit of more natural vitamins. I'm going to try that. Maybe with the salad I will be full and not be snacking so much.

I usually buy the WW meals to eat for lunch. This is the only thing I would eat on my lunch hour, but I did take some other snacks to eat on my other breaks. The only exception was the WW pizzas, I would usually take a small salad to eat with that.

Yes one of those meals has all the vitamins you need for that meal, but it is not enough in quantity to fill a person so adding a salad or some veggies is a good way to fill you. I was on weight watchers many years ago, about 20, and I lost over 60 lbs. but since then I have slowly put back about 40 lbs. of it. I am moving next week to another province and one of my goals to start my life over again, is to go back on weight watchers and lose those 40 lbs. I have gained back. I will not be going to the meetings because I don't need to spend money on going to them when I know how to follow the diet. I know things have changed since then, but I will do it the way it used to be since it worked for me then. So I will be buying the weight watcher meals again, for my supper, and the weight watchers desserts, for the chocolate I love and will miss otherwise. But for my morning meal I am going to do the slim fast shake thing and for my lunch I am going to do the slim fast bar thing, with some veggies and fruit and diet soft drink. I have it all planned out and I hope to lose those 40 lbs. in about 6 months and I really think I can do it this way. Give me your luck and prayers on this one, please.

I'm sure that each person's answer to this question will be different based on the type of diet or weight-loss program that they are using. I am doing the WEight-Watchers points program (actually an older point program of theirs, not the newest one). I lost 50 pounds doing this a few years ago and then fell off the wagon and gained it back. I am in the process of losing again and have lost 30 pounds. When I use one of the pre-made frozen meals, I always add a salad. By adding a salad, I am getting some of my 5 servings of veggies in and not spending any points! I do have to count points for my salad dressing but I have one that is only 1 point for 2 tablespoons. Those doing a low carb diet might answer your question differently as they forego some salad ingredients due to their carb content.

No No,your hubby is wrong..I have been a weight watcher for years,it started out for me to lose a few pounds and now it is just a way of eating healthly...At weight watchers you have a certain amount of points you can have each day..I can only have 20 points during the week,but on Friday,Saturday & Sunday you have an extra 11 points for each of those days..I have eaten the weight watchers dinners,and yes you can have salad,& fruit along with the dinner...The whole idea is to stay within your points..Salad has zero points,you will have to add for the dressing,fruit usually has i point each,like an orange 1 pt, small apple 1pt... a banana is 2 pts..I get lots of food to eat on weight watchers...

Hello Suspensful, actually your husband is wrong (sorry to say). My mom is on weightwatchers and she gets like 32 points I think. I believe most of those meals are around 5-10 points each depending on the meal. So obviously if we divide 32 by three meals that is a little more than 10 points each meal. I know she likes the Healthy Choice Fish meal and I think that's around 6 points or so. Therefore she can eat 4 more points with her meal. I believe she eats a cheese stick (2 points), light bread (1 point), banana (2 points), and/or small bag of light Baked Lays chips (3points). She doesn't like salad, but if you eat one without the cheese and courtons and a light dressing I belive it would be around 2 points or so. If you get some light soups they are around 0 to 2 points per cup. Pablo

Entrees are usually starters. That is, they get your stomach working before your main meal. I say it is upto you what you do with your meals. If you want to have a salad or bread with it, then go for it. Dressing and all, gotta have some indulgences! I have a reasonably big appetite, and when buying the frozen meal types, I always make sure there is bread or extra veggies to go with it as the meals alone never seem to be big enough and are more sauce than food.

You can eat all of the leafy green veggies you want in any given day. And, the same pretty much goes for other fresh veggies. Just watch the dressing- a little goes a long way...and adds on the fat and calories very quickly. Same goes for cheese- a very small amount adds alot of fat.
