That sounds like a really smart tip — especially for busy days when you want something healthy, low-stress, and quick. And yes, chicken salad can be a great WW-friendly meal if you keep it simple.
However, I want to clarify something important:
✅ A whole bag of chicken salad being “1 WW point” is unlikely
Most chicken salads (even light versions) typically have more than 1 point because of:
- mayo
- chicken
- nuts/fruit
- dressing
So the key is the exact ingredients.
🥗 Here’s a really low-point chicken salad idea that can be around 1 point
Low-Point Chicken Salad (WW-Friendly)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded cooked chicken breast (0 points on WW)
- 2 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt (0–1 point)
- 1 tsp mustard (0 points)
- Salt & pepper
- Optional: lemon juice, herbs, celery, pickles
This version can be very low in points, depending on the WW plan.
🧺 The “No Stress Meal” Tip
Here’s the simple way to do it like your friend:
✔️ Batch prep once
- Cook 1–2 chicken breasts
- Shred and store in the fridge
✔️ Make 3–4 servings of chicken salad at once
Then you have quick meals ready for:
- work
- busy days
- travel
- lunchboxes
🥬 Ways to eat it (low-point)
- On lettuce wraps (0 points)
- In a low-carb wrap (points vary)
- With cucumber slices
- On a salad
- With celery sticks
❓ If you want, I can help you verify the points
If you share:
- the brand or ingredients in the bag
- the serving size
- the WW plan you’re using (Green/Blue/Purple)
I can estimate the WW points for you.
