A Moan Already!

So how are you supposed to stay healthy, yet maintain a diet?

Trying to juggle food into a weekly menu that will stay within my points has taken all evening. Take fish for example: We all know we should eat lots of fish as its good for you, and oily fish is especially good for you. I love fish and eat lots of it, and at the moment am going through a phase of eating lots of smoked mackerel. However, this is to be no more because tonight I found out that smoked mackerel is 10 points on the Weight Watchers plan. As I only have 28 points for the day you can see how excessive that amount of points is - I mean even a Mars Bars only 6 points!

In fact all the 'healthy' things I've been eating over the last few months will be going out of the window. It may be healthy to eat lots of seeds and nuts, but it sure doesn't fit in with the WW plan. Of course all the carbs fit in, but I really shouldn't be eating those. So how do i find food that doesn't involve the carbs but doesn't go over my points?
