4 ways to max out ZeroPoint® foods
Less tracking, more eating
1. Create a base
Start with a ZeroPoint food (ZPF) or two, then add ingredients with Points®to build the rest of your meal.
2. Pump up a dish
Toss ZPFs into any recipe or serve as a side to make meals more filling and add variety and flavor.
3. Make a swap
Trade higher-Points ingredients for ZPF in your favorite recipes.
When you make... | Swap in... | Points saved... |
|---|---|---|
Chili, tacos, burgers, or pasta sauce with ground beef | 98% fat-free ground turkey or chicken | Up to 10 points per 4 oz |
Pancakes | 2 eggs mixed with 1ripe mashed banana to make batter | Up to 5 points per 2 pancakes |
Creamy soups, sauces, or desserts | Pureed cauliflower or tofu in place of heavy cream | Up to 6 points per serving |
Lasagna | Eggplant slices in place of noodles | 2 points per serving |
Burgers or sliders | Roasted portobello or shiitake mushrooms for buns | Up to 5 points per bun |
4. Snack on
No matter how many Points you have to spend (or don’t), you can always quiet that hangry feeling.

Can you really eat as many ZPFs as you want for 0 Points? Yup. Here’s how that plays out on your plate.
Start with the amount you’d usually eat. Not sure what that is? Try this.
Veggies: 1–2 cups
Eggs: 2
Seafood: 3–4 oz
Poultry: 3–4 oz
Tofu or tempeh: 3–4 oz
Beans and lentils: ½ cup
Still hungry? Take a beat to sense if you’re truly hungry. If so, have a little more, eating slowly so you can feel when you get full.
Be flexible. Some days you may be hungrier, other days less will satisfy you.
