Nandos rice is quite oily I'd say, definitely not free.

hey guys.... can i join this thread...started today and am confused with a few things.

im about to go nandos and im on green. have one b choice left so thinking of doing green salad with chicken and mexican rice. is the rice free. also please anyone have any syn values for the frozen yoghurt??

thanks for reading. answers be greatly appreciated

Welcome, welcome

Sounds like you've got the right idea! Yes you can have the chicken as a HEb, if you have a HEa you could have the greek salad with it... (and syn the olives)... not sure about the rice but most plain rice is free, whereas fried rice at chineses etc has syns. The yoghurt is support to be fat-free so I...uh... usually treat it as free...? Perhaps shouldn't though...

The frozen yoghurt is also only low fat not fat free again would have some syns. Sorry!

Really? On the menu it says fat free...?

O WOW u guys r seriously amazing. thank u for the quick replies!!

thanks skin catt, jemma b and sw_mina. i have eaten like half a syn today (first day and all so been relatively ok) so fingers crossed it be ok if i have the rice.

hmmm maybe if i ask how they make their rice and how much oil/butter they add?

so in a nutshell anything fat free is syn free?? but if its just low fat then prob a lot of syns?

thanks again guys

Fat Free does NOT mean syn free! Far from it!

You're welcome. I'm afraid it's not quite that simple - it's based on the entire nutritional content plus how filling it is... so fat free yogurt is quite filling so that's free even though it has some sugar in, but other fat free and even sugar free things (like chewing gum) have syns in because they're not filling and you can eat lots of them.
