What is the 21 Day Fix Food List?
The 21 Day Fix combines easy-to-use food containers, each of which is color-coded to make this the simplest step to making healthy food choices you’ll ever make. Each color-coded container can be filled with as much of the corresponding food type which will fit in the container to guide you on portion size and in creating a balanced diet.
I’ve been If using the Weight Watchers Program (review here) for a while now, but I get bored every now and again. If you’re like me and want to spice it up a bit with the 21 Day Fix program, I’ve created a list below that should help you work both plans at the same time. If you see any errors below, help this gal out and comment below so I can keep this list accurate.

This is awesome!
I have been a member of weight watchers and really enjoyed the plan.
I have been following the 21 day fix program and have had wonderful results.
The 2 of them working off of each other is great. It allows variety which is needed when
trying to eat correctly.
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You’re welcome!
Thanks Mimi!
I’ve used WW before and been successful but I wanted to try 21 Day Fix partly for the workout videos but also for the portion control. However I’m still a bit confused about how to put them together. If I had someone to serve my food it would be no problem but trying to figure out what to eat and how much is difficult, probably more than it needs to be. What do you base your serving on? Points or containers?
Hi Jackie – Sorry for the delay! I base my servings on weight watchers points.
Thanks for this! I’m on weightwatchers and I have 21 day fix I really want to combine both program but weightwatchers has new plan with smart point instead of point plus, do you think you can update this information with smart point?! That would be very helpful! 🙂
Gabriela – I’ll do my best! Right now I’m working 3 jobs, but I’ll add it to my list of things to do!
Thank you!!!!
Thank you, I do like both plans
WW is on Free Style now
about the red container, you have marked 6oz, but I thought it was 3oz, as I weigh my food and then put it in the red container.
I could be wrong.
