Can anyone recommend any low/no syn quick grab snacks? My diet downfall is craving something sweet around this time of day but I don't always have time or inclination to cook anything.

I try to eat yogurt and fruit during the day and I really can't tolerate any more of it in the evening:o so is there anything else I could pick on?

Danone shape yoghurt - so thick feels a real treet

fresh pineapple - nice n sweet so feels a treat - get pre packaged one - more expensive but easy to eat as a snack

Choc N Fudge Alpen Lights - 2 = he b - if syning I THINK about 5 syns each

carrot sticks ?

then a couple faves of mine:

Sainsbury no added sugar marshmallows - 1syn = 4 mallows

Bahlsen Afrika biscuits + 1 biscuit is 1 syn and they are Yummy - My local Morrison sell them

I was doing ok this week until last night when we wee invited out to dinner. DH's 65th birthday. I did try to choose sensibly; chicken with ginger and banana but unfortunately it came in a cream sauce. I chose what I thought was the least Synful sweet - cream caramel. However, when I took into account a glass of wine and then remembered the french toast and the pat of butte, I worked out the Syns for yesterday to be around 40:eek: :eek: . I have also got visitors tomorrow and two more meals out at the weekend. I can see some of my last week's loss of 4lbs going back on .

Today I have been very good - damage limitation.

Breakfast - Allbran; smilk - HEB; HEA
snack - Muller light yoghurt; cherries - free; free
lunch - Pasta; quark; 1oz cheddar - free; free; 6Syns
snack - banana - free
dinner - chicken; leeks; swede; SW roasties - free; free; free; free

By the way, well done Taxi on your fantastic weight loss.

Thanks Judderman, I don't suppose the milk choc flavour Bahlsen Afrika biscs are 1 syn too- I bet they're more? Only the dark ones on the sw site.

Even if you pierce it they do tend to explode (in or after you take it out) though so be careful! Even on 60/80% power! Makes a great mess!

I have had that happen too, so I will try the fried version.

Thanks for the advice about the fat free fromage frais sw-mina. I think I might try it with low fat yogurt instead. I think I will need lots of mustard though to take the taste away.
