Hi there,

I wonder if anyone can help.

Despite carefully planning my week's meals in advance, I not only seem to have added extra syns each day so far this week (which will really catch up with me later on when I have a big weekend), but today I have gone abit off plan and I'm not sure if I can rescue it.

I had planned a green day with Fish as my 2 HEB's for dinner, instead this is what has happened:

B: 1/2 scan bran cake (HEB) (not planned), muller, apple
S: Banana
L: Baked bean lasagne (cheese - HEA), muller
This is where i've really gone off course (although I'm pretty sure it could be worse)
S: Special K bar & chocolate rice Krispie cake
Planned for dins: Potaotes, spinach & leaves, salmon (2 x HEBs) with garlic n soy sauce
Had planned on keeping syns to a minimum today to save for wine and Pimms later in the week.

Is there anyway I can rescue this? Or failing that, can anyone help with the syn values of the special K and rice krispie cake?

Thanks!

I think you should be able to do extra easy with what you have had today. You would need to cound the Special K Bar and the Cholocate rice Krispie cake as syns though and the garlic and soy sauce. Special K bar is 5 or 6 not sure about the rest i'm afraid. But yes you most probably can rescue today.

I stayed the same this week at WI, so really pleased with that after 2 meals out & a chinese take away at weekend.

Can anyone let me know the syns for a packet of caramel snak a jaks or the popcorn version? Going to cinema at weekend & thought I'd take something like this with me.

I think there was something on this thread a few pages ago that might answer this....

....they don't defrost to the same texture though ending up more like a runny semolina. So don't buy in bulk to freeze them if you plan to defrost them. In this state they are also less filling, a double blow.

Harriets_Mum - yes you can freeze Muller Lights (some people eat them as ice-cream once frozen) but I don't know how well they defrost!

You've solved a problem for me - we're hosting a breakfast meeting next week and trying to do it cheaply - the half size Mullers will be perfect, thanks!

It's my first day on Slimming World today, was pleased to see this thread.

So far I've had:
Special K & Skimmed milk (think this is an A and a B, although the Special K should really be Sustain type, which I will buy now I've eaten up the old stuff)

Strawberries and grapes

1/4 piece of toast with margarine and jam (my son's leftovers, will have to learn to throw them straight in the bin) 1.5 Syns?

1 piece of mushroom pizza (weighed it and was about 100g) 12 Syns !

And I'm cooking for tea:
Quorn sausages
Jacket potatoes
Brocolli
Carrots
Gravy (1 Syn)
Mustard (1 Syn?)

So that makes 15.5 syns, not a great start, but the pizza was sitting there asking to be eaten up!

Just been to WI and lost 3lbs very pleased with that!

Seem to be back on track. Had my weigh in tonight and have lost 1and a half pounds. I seem to do better in the summer than the winter.

skinny_dee

you can have two Alpen light bars as a HEB.

burtoc

Just checking in, 1.5lb loss and hit my stone :j

I had a sneaky look on the scales on Monday and had put back everything I had lost last week (after a boozy weekend) so had 2 days on red and lots of water.

Have completely blown it today with buffet lunch at work, oh well tomorrow is another day!

miss_emmajane

I have checked some nice treats that I can have as syns but my book is quite old so I just hoped someone could check they are right so I don't gain on Monday and wonder why

On a green day;
Orig wagon wheel 8
Jaffa cakes 2.5
Fig roll 3
Choc mini roll 5.5
Mr Kipling cherry bakewell 9.5
23g Frazzles 5.5
23g Monster Munch (any variety) 6

Also, I got the books from my boyfriends mum from way back when she did it and there is a curry book in there so tonight I am making sweet potato curry and vegetable bhajis and a 'cool chilli dip' - looking forward to it as I normally just eat quorn sausages or jacket potatos!
