WW and pregnancy

I just found out that I am pregnant and I know your not supposed to do WW while pregnant, but with the app now telling you your calorie and macro amounts, would it still be safe to do if you used that tool? I looked at what your supposed to eat while pregnant, and its pretty much the same as what WW wants you to eat ( greens, lean meat, fruits and veggies). Plus, the first trimester is no extra calories, second is 350 cal extra and third is 450 extra. So could I just get to my usual points and eat zero point foods until I hit my calories?

Crackpot chicken gave me a zero point meal base for my lunches for the week

I don't know who else needs any ideas for easy meal prepping, but I finally actually did it this week. I put chicken in my crock pot at the beginning of the week and and shredded it and then separated it into different containers to use as my base for my lunches for the week. It's been amazing to have.

Today's lunch (pictured) was 8 points (fewer if I'd paired down but I was very hungry). I got the steamed frozen cheesy broccoli and made just a little rice and mixed it all in and it was delicious. Luckily I work from home Fridays so I was able to make the rice on the stove but instant rice would work too for the office.

Alongside my chicken on Tuesday, I grabbed a couple potatoes and some cheese to make in the microwave at work. Only points were from the cheese. Then yesterday I added taco seasoning to the chicken when I warmed it up and made quesadillas. That was a few more points, but using low carb tortillas and low fat cheese helps.

Do you have other easy meal preps that are lower points?
