Anyone have any suggestions? Cooking brunch tomorrow for at least 8 people, 2 of which are on weight watchers.

Load up heavily on fruit servings. So make a nice big fruit salad.
Try a lower fat quiche made with broccoli, low fat cheese. Make the crust out of shredded potatoes.
Stay away from things like muffins as they are the same thing as cake! Instead, opt for whole grain breads (highly encouraged on weight watchers) for toast and have some sugar free jams.
Try making poached eggs and serving with steamed asparagus.
Stay away from lots of meats and what have you. If you do serve bacon, serve 97% fat free turkey bacon.
Can you make a pot of oatmeal? Like Apples & Cinnamon or Maple and Brown Sugar? My husband and I are on WW and we eat oatmeal for breakfast just about every morning (only 2 pts per packet! and very filling!) Also, try something similar to Egg McMuffins. English Muffins are low points as well as putting some lowfat cheese on them and canadian bacon its a good and the eggs are only two points! You could also so like an egg scramble but with egg beaters! Eggs beaters are about one point a serving, mixed with lowfat cheese would be a good option. Fruit to go with it as well! Good luck!
Cooking using basic ingredients without a lot of fat. Include some fiber in the meal. Have plenty of fresh fruit, unsweetened available, and things will go well.
Here’s sample menu
Scrambled Eggs cooked without fat using skim milk, if desired
Whole Grain Toast
Sugar-free jam, Light Butter or Butter Spray
Strawberries or Blueberries OR Grapefruit halves
Tea and Coffee
make scrambled eggs
and lots of fresh fruit
and an oatmeal bar. this will require little to no work by you. put a kettle of hot water on, or make the oatmeal hot in advance.
then put out all sorts of toppings in bowls: raisins, crasins, fresh fruit, cinnamon, sugar/brown sugar, milk/cream, chocolate chips, maple syrup, chopped almonds/walnuts/pecans, flavored syrups, yogurt, butter, shredded coconut, soy milk, honey.
a big can of oatmeal costs less than 2 dollars! the other stuff is more expensive, but take inventory of what you already have, you might have enough that you won’t even have to go shopping for more!
good luck!
