Spaghetti Squash with meat sauce

According to WW, spaghetti squash has zero points because it's a vegetable. Just the kind of base I need for a nice meaty spaghetti sauce. I made my sauce very quickly and very simply. Fresh minced garlic and 90% lean ground sirloin. I buy jarred marinara sauce. This pic is my left overs that I'm currently having for lunch. :)
TIP: I make sure to only buy meat that weighs about 0.50 pounds. That way, I know if I'm splitting it with my husband we are both eating roughly 4 oz portions - the portion size we should be eating. (16 ounces are in a pound) Or you could buy one pound of meat and divide into 4 servings. That would work too and be cheaper.
