    Can anyone tell me why rice is not a Hb on Original days? I just can't find any info regarding this. So every time I have rice on a Original day, I count it as 6 syns for 84g of cooked rice.

    I really don't want to use up all my syns on rice if just maybe it is a Hb.

    Rice has never been a healthy extra on an original day I'm afraid. I don't think it has enough fibre/nutritional content to qualify as a healthy extra. It is of course free on EE:D

    Looks pretty good to me. You can use your own bread as an HEB if it is wholemeal and you weigh it. Otherwise you still have to weigh it then syns it - sorry!

    RL is right - not enough fibre in rice to be a HEb.

    thanks Skint Catt - the pineapple is fresh and I'm going to have some along with kiwi, mango and grapes in a fruit salad for lunch.


    thanks also to the poster with the BF ideas - I shall have to try some of those. porridge sounds super healthy - but can I add dried fruit to it?

    Dried fruit is synned (or maybe a HEb) I'm afraid. Anything thats not 'whole from the bowl' (i.e. cooked, pureed, dried etc) has syns or is a HEb.

    Im planning on going EE today and was thinking about that stuffed chicken breast wrapped in bacon I have read about on here - quick question - what is is stuffed with.... was it VLF fromage frais or quark (with garlic or herbs etc.)?

    If you want to use it as a HEb on red then you could enjoy changing the day to Extra Easy, which means you can use as much rice as you want. Just take one healthy B on something else (as if you had taken the rice as your other B on an original day) and have one healthy A and your 5-15 syns and you're laughing! ;)

    I've just made myself too much food for lunch. :o I'll put it in a tupeprware and maybe have it tomorrow :rolleyes:

    well have been doing slimming world on and off since i was in high school and havn't been to a class in about 4 years or so (am currently 22)
    Have managed to lose 5lbs since before christmas and am upping my recipe collection to make it more SW friendly.
    Is wholemeal rice free on green even if it isn't a HeB on red?

    ps hi
