Dining at McDonald’s On a Weight Watchers Diet

With your WW SmartPoints to keep you on track, your weight-loss plan is flexible enough to make room for fast food every now and then. Dining at McDonald’s on a Weight Watchers diet is no exception. 

Whether you’re on the go or just don’t have the energy to prepare your own meal, or perhaps you’re simply craving for Mickey D’s, here’s a handy SmartPoints (SP) guide to help keep you within your daily SP budget. 

Weight Watchers Menu Options at McDonald’s

Sweet Chilli Grilled Chicken Wrap / Garlic Mayo Grilled Chicken Wrap

This is WW’s official top choice at Mickey D’s, with:

• 9SP on Green; and
• 8SP on Blue and Purple

McDonald’s Cheeseburger

A classic choice with 10SP on all three plans; you can make it a double for 15SP. 

McChicken Sandwich

Another Mickey D’s favorite with 11SP on all three plans. 

Quarter Pounder with Cheese / Big Mac

Choose either one for 14SP on all plans. 

6-Piece McNuggets

Hard to say no to chicken nuggets! A box of 6 is worth 7SP on all plans. Three Chicken Selects cost 9SP on Green, Blue, and Purple.

Depending on the size:
