If you’re on the Purple plan, for instance, many staple ingredients containing carbohydrates count as ZeroPoint foods — including potatoes, wholegrain pasta, brown rice and oats — making it particularly useful if you want to feed hungry partners or ravenous teenagers while staying on track yourself.

Or you could prepare a hearty, yet healthy, winter stew with a low SmartPoints value but add extra garlic bread, a fluffy baked potato or serve up extralarge portions for growing youngsters.

And, as non-starchy vegetables and most fruit are ZeroPoint foods on all three WW colour plans, why not use these for extra side dishes that will bulk out a meal and ensure everyone in the family is getting enough vitamins and minerals — all within your daily SmartPoints Budget?

Making some canny substitutions with ingredients will also enable you to rustle up indulgent family favourites that are also low in SmartPoints.

Today’s scrumptious chocolate brownies recipe uses calorie-controlled cooking spray, 0% fat natural Greek yoghurt and cocoa powder, all low in calories, to produce indulgent gooey brownies, that only take 10 minutes to prepare, 20 minutes to cook and will only set you back four SmartPoints each on Green and three on Blue or Purple.

You will find the new myWW+ app an invaluable friend as it is packed with recipes for hundreds of healthy family meals — some of which take only 30 minutes to prepare from fridge to fork.
