WW for vegetarians

I have never tried Weightwatchers. Been on a diet my whole life though. I occasionally do a LighterLife day, if I have really overeaten.
I have looked on the WW website but can’t see a lot of guidance for vegetarians, I was looking for sample menu plans etc.
If you are a veggie and have been successful please can you give me some ideas as to how it might work for me?
Thanks!
PS I hate salad 🙈

I'm not actually veggie but do prefer to eat mostly veggie meals. I use the app, which I find great for keeping track of points and also it has hundreds of recipes to choose from. The ones I've been through and "liked" are mostly veggie ones, so I dont think you'd struggle for choice.

There's a choice of 3 plans (green, blue and purple) and when you join it will give you a short quiz then assign a plan for you to follow but you can change at any time.
On the green plan you can eat anything you want but everything except for fruit and veg has a points value so all carbs (bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, couscous etc) and protein (eggs, beans, lentils, cheese etc) needs to be weighed and pointed. As a veggie you might find it easier than meat eaters as a lot of the vegetarian protein sources tend to be lower in fat than meat and hence have a lower points value. For me, I need to bulk me meals out with a lot of veg and salad to stay within points and stop me being hungry. Processed food generally has a high points value due to hidden added sugar so you're best making soups and sauces for pasta, curry etc from scratch.
On the blue and purple plans some protein sources don't need to be pointed but I don't know what the options are like for vegetarians.
