Thanks so much angie .....I suppose it is a green but I thought if not it might be an easy day!!!
Why do I need to have two Alpen bars??? Am not too sure about that...sorry to be a bit vague but am just trying to get in the swing

angie_loves_veg

One healthy B option is 2 alpen light bars..... by having both you get the right amount of fibre (or whatever) as required for it to be counted as a B choice.

If you only have the one bar, then you count it as syns instead, in which case it would be 3 syns per bar.

does that help?

BF - shredded wheat and milk (HEA and
Lunch - Ham sandwich with W/M bread and lettuce - got to sin the Ham.
Dinner - soup with HM chicken stock, white beans, bacon (HEB) mushrooms and leek. Salad, mango.
Snacks - clementines, grapes and apples.

Don't forget your bread is a HEb too - but now you'll have to syn it as you've already had both.

biscotte

oh Dear! Maybe I can leave out the beans in the soup and add some chicken instead and call it a red day (then the bacon wouldn't be a third HEB!). that works I think?

Skint_Catt

Yes that would work biscotte - or you could have an 'Extra Easy' day and have the lot plus one HEb leftover still to use! :j

Sorry - no you've still had too many HEb's with cereal and bread - DOH!

Yes, do what you suggested - leave out the beans & have a red!

I no its naughty but i normally save up my syns till the end of the week and have a big treat instead of loads of little ones. I was just wondering how many syns are pizzas out of pizza express. They have 2 4 1 at the moment. I'm going anyway on saturday but i would prefer to count it as syns so i know how bad i'm being.

It will be large! What type of pizza would you normally go for? Pizza Express aren't on syns online so I've gone for Pizza Hut with an Italian base (pizza express style)

Wow thats a lot. How disapointing

Pizza is high unfortunately - its my one weakness too

But don't forget saving your syns all week for a treat is Old Style SW. New style is Flexible syns - set yourself a target (say 60), go out, enjoy everything you eat and drink (but keep counting up to your limit) and then get back on plan the next day. It shouldn't effect your weightloss if its an occaisonal/one off event!

So on the extra easy you just get the one HEA and HEB but then 'free' foods (from either red or green) are OK so long as about a third of your plate is superfree. trouble is I always have cereals for BF as I don't have time for anything else (except at the weekends) so that's all my HE gone in about 5 minutes!
