I show healthy food recipes that can be easily adapted to your taste and are easy for meal prep. These are all recipes I’ve shown in my “what I eat in a day” videos for this past year.

My journey: I've been on a weight loss/fitness/wellness journey since July 2021, and I'm happy to say I lost a total of 45 pounds. After stalling for an extended period, I'm ready to switch things up again, even if that means crawling back to WW. If the rumors of change are true, I'm hoping they will welcome me back with open arms. If you want to watch a female 40-year-old who has little experience working out (at all) try to build some muscle while staying lean than better subscribe now. I also focus on what I eat in a day, meal prep, dinner ideas, and other various daily life stuffs.

It would be great if you would mention WW points as well! I don’t use calories, just the points. Thanks!!

[@brandiwasek]

Totally understand, and I believe it did a better job at that with the rest of the series. Thanks for the feedback.

[@janiboma]

I like your video but instead telling the calories, could you tell us the points.

[@brandiwasek]

I totally understand. I filmed this a few weeks after switching back to WW (I took a few months off to count calories) and I guess my mind was back to points yet. I did much better in the rest of the series. Thanks for the feedback. Take care.

I like the idea of making muffins with the Pillsbury SF cake mix. I realize you said you don’t really measure, but could you give an approximation of the ingredients? I love to cook but I have to have a recipe to refer to. I’m especially interested in your banana muffins. My daughter & my husband & I all love muffins. Here’s a couple of things I do. For lunch lightly toast a bagel, then spread cream Cheese or laughing cow on it, next comes thinly sliced cucumber followed by a sprinkling of dill weed. I use the jarred but fresh would be good too. Also for breakfast or a snack, if you’re trying to get more protein, 1/2 of a fruit flavor Oikos yogurt, then add 1 serving of the cottage cheese you prefer (I usually go for no fat) mix the 2 together, add 1-2 T of granola & finally some fresh blueberries & sprinkle some cinnamon on top. It is so delicious & really keeps you full. I watched your channel for the first time today & will be back. You have some great ideas. Thank you.

[@mjking9019]

Great ideas. I've made brownies using a mix and a can of canned pumpkin. Not the pumpkin pie mix but canned pumpkin. They turn out super fudgey and delicious. I gave some to my best friend who isn't a fan of pumpkin and she didn't even notice it had pumpkin in them!

[@brandiwasek]

Great idea!!

[@kathyhubert7434]

Thanks for the ideas! Really very realistic choices. Appreciate the video!

[@brandiwasek]

So happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Hoping to have part 2 in a few weeks!

Great video! I started to take weight watchers more seriously at the beginning of March (after being on and off it since 2016) and am trying to find different easy recipes to make and these would work great with what I have already 😊

[@brandiwasek]

Good luck Monique. I found sticking to easy is the only way it works for me. I'm too busy to complicate it. I also have a lunch and dinner version too. Thanks for watching!

I just found your channel today and I’m so glad I did! I can’t wait to have time to look through your videos.. you are relatable and interesting without trying to do too much 😂 I like that you said you were on green and didn’t do as well on PP .. sounds familiar lol

[@brandiwasek]

You are too sweet. I like the higher daily point I got on the green plan, but I’m trying hard this week with the new plan. Got my egg cups to 0 points to that helps each day! Thanks for watching, cheers me back and visit.

Thanks for breakfast ideas..I'm at the point where I think I need to change up my breakfast so I'm going to try your ideas

[@brandiwasek]

So glad it gave you some ideas. I like to keep it simple but versatile with the meals I eat on repeat, which are breakfast and lunch. I always meal prep those on Sunday for at least 3 portions each.

[@sarahmcguigan8614]

Thank you

[@LuzMartinez-if1dw]

Thank you for the ideas , when you make the muffins do you follow the direction on the box with the change of ingredients please ?

[@brandiwasek]

Yes I follow the instructions on the package, and start checking them with a toothpick insert at the minimum state time range. Thanks for watching.

Could you do an update video of sugar free muffin with jus banana and eggs and show the app just like you did on the screen- that would be super helpful

I wish I could show you the app here, but it doesn't allow me to show photos.

Will do.

Great breakfast ideas! Did I see you make breakfast sands and freeze them? How do you warm them up? I go to work before the crack of dawn and am always looking for easy, WW friendly ideas.

[@brandiwasek]

Yep I freeze them all the time. Never knew I could before ww either! I typically take one out the night before and leaving it in the refrigerator overnight and then heat in the air fryer for 4 to 6 minutes depending on the size. I do open them up to heat. Thanks for watching.

[@beckystout2642]

Great video

[@brandiwasek]

Awww thank you Becky, that means a lot.

[@TheLuzy18]

I really have a sweet tooth how many points would those muffin be if I make 12 or 24muffins?

[@brandiwasek]

If only made 12 muffins they would be 4 points each. If did 24, 2 points each. The sugar free cake mix (entire box unprepared) is 43 points. So if only add in 0 point foods (unsweetened applesauce, or eggs, or bananas) then just divide 43 by how many muffins you get.

[@livingthebestlifewithcarol3381]

Say the points please

[@brandiwasek]

Hi Carolyn. I totally agree and I apoligize. This was one of my first video coming off calorie counting and running back to WW, so I think that's why my brain wasn't set to points as much as it should have been. Part 2 (lunch) I did focus more on points and will in part 3 too. All my other videos I alwasy make the points super clear. Thanks for the comment and watching.

[@judymuir2565]

Do you freeze the breakfast sandwich

[@brandiwasek]

Hi Judy. I have not, but only because I typically only have the ingredient to make 4-6 so I just eat them in one week. I really need to try freezing them so I don't have to prep so often!

[@judymclaughlin6993]

What's the Costco item?

[@belindapeeples8745]

Just what I was looking for. How much did you lose and how long did it take?

[@brandiwasek]

I lost 40 pounds in less than 6 months

[@robertandmandyfitzgerald784]

Why do you stay on WW if you have found that you are eating far more points then you are given, and still losing?I ask because I feel like I get very few calories if I follow and track everything with WW, so I use the zero point food list for the purple plan they had a few years ago, and then track anything else.I have been losing, it is working much better then when I was just counting calories, so I keep paying, but sometimes I wonder why I do lol.

[@brandiwasek]

Great points and question. I had great success on WW for my first 6 months when the program was just the colors (I was green), but when it changed to personal points I stalled and last summer did drop WW for counting calories, because I was eating too few calories on the new program (I have a video about points vs calories). I counted calories for about 4 months and gained 5-10 pounds, and found I was mainly eating within my calorie goal but wasn’t full because I was making poor food choices and then would snack, which may be responsible for my gain. However, I am lifting weights more now so that may also be where the weight/hunger came from. Anyhow, I decided to crawl back to WW since they got away from the personal plan (video about that too). I’m really trying to focus on the zero-point foods and see if I can make my 23 points a day work (they also increased my weeklies earlier this week from 21 to 29!). I’ve never had this many free foods so I’m excited to try it. If I find I still can’t remain within my points, then I’m going to do some math and determine on average how many points = my calorie goal and then switch my plan to maintenance and increase my point to match my calorie goal. I’m picking this option because I find it easier to think in terms of points vs calories, and like having zero-point foods available when I’m out of calories but hungry, and WW gives me that. Thanks for watching.

I loved your Breakfast and Lunch Ideas! Did you ever do a dinner one? What are your go to?

Sadly, not yet. I have all the idea written down, but just not a enough footage to align. It will come soon, promise!

[@mariaisabelgarciavazquez9675]

How many points is each breakfast. Thank you

[@brandiwasek]

Hi Maria, the point value depends on which ingredients you use. Typically my breakfasts are 4-8 points. If you would like to see each meal point breakdown lease watch a few of my what i eat in a day videos. thanks for watching.

[@christinemarquez6544]

Great recipes but point info would've been nice.

[@brandiwasek]

Hi Christine, I agree with you. When I filmed this it was when I was first transitioning from counting calories back to WW (took a few months off), so I guess that is why my mind went to calories vs. points. I think I did better mentioning points in my lunch video and certainly will in my dinner video. Thanks for the feedback.

[@Amie0046]

Do you have banana muffin recipe?

[@brandiwasek]

Yes! 1 sugar free yellow cake mix, 3 over ripe bananas, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup walnuts (or pecans), 2 eggs, 5 tablespoons brown sugar replacement (I use swerve). Whisk the eggs and add the banana and mash (I use a potato masher). Add all the remaining ingredients and mix until blended. For muffins I use cupcake liners or silicone liners (typically I get anywhere from 18-22 muffins, it depends on the size of the bananas) and bake according to the cake box instructions. Thanks.
