  • hi

    just wanted to update after my lunch debate.... I ended up having the warm chicken and bacon salad with no dressing or croutons - I took my own Tescos lighter choices dressing and put that on instead :D... I had the lunch size portion and it was sooooo tiny!!! have been starving all afternoon, so am now home and having a muller light.

    I still can't accurately syn it - the bacon was crispy, and although it wasn't visibly fatty or greasy, I can't say how it was cooked - that said, it was such a small portion I think I'll just discount it!

    thanks for everyones help :beer:

    Right, won't be trusting my Mum again to cook! She was supposed to be doing a SW cheesy bake tonight, but I arrived to find she'd added cheese sauce & milk to the recipe (on top of what I'd already had that day) - eek! On another note, I managed the 'island lap' on Wii Fit jogging for the first time today - absolutely knackering!

    B: 2x Weetabix (HEb), milk (HEa) & banana

    L: Jacket potato & beans

    T: SW cheesy bake & orange mousse. 10 syns in total (estimate)

    Snacks: None

    Activity: 45 minutes Wii Fit

    Total Syns: 10 syns

    Hi, just all this talk of sweets has made me think about my faves - wine gums. Does anyone know how many syns in one of those rolls?
