Thanks RL

Hmmm not a total disaster then but one to watch 12 syns plus 2 tablespoons of lemon curd. Will that take me over 15?

No it won't - Lemon curd, 1 level tsp 1syn :T:T

1 syns ONLY if you scrape a knife scross the spoon to make it level

Doesn't leave you with much so I don't bother with things I have to do that to!

Yep - that is me!:o:o I have always eaten large portions and that is probably why I struggle so much with EE:o:o

You couldn't eat more than me Marion and I'm losing weight on EE, BUT I love my veg and eat lots at each meal.

Oh dear, in my (old) food directory it says 1 level teaspoon = ½ syn

dontknowanymore - hugs to you. We all have our moments (mine hit yesterday - you don't want to know!). Draw a line underneath it and yes of course add as much superfree to any recipe you like!

Thanks.
Well I usually have a big salad or loads of veg as a side to my meal but with things like this (sweet and sour pork with special fried rice) it's a bit tricky, I did look for the chinese leaf but thy had none in the Tesco I went to.
I put in loads of onion, peppers, carrots, beanshoots.

I guess once in a while not filling 1/3 of the plate wont hurt, I have cut my portion sizes down anyways.

It was very nice BTW although I ended up using passata instead of tomato puree and an extra bit of cornflour so need to work out the synage.

I have to say that the special fried rice recipie in the 'feed your family for a fiver' book is bloody gorgeous, I've made it twice now.

If you put in loads of onion, peppers, carrots & beanshoots, then that would cover you for the third of a plate of Superfree foods

Passata is syn-free so that's a good move, and cornflour is 1 syn per level teaspoon (according to my old FD)

Also I weighed myslef in boots today, the same one I did the night before my first and 2nd WI and they registerd the same weigth and it's showing a 2lb gain :eek:
I really want to pull it back and loose at least that 2lb this week, I went on my walk today, it was raingin a bit but I didnt mind and I walked extra fast and took longet strides, jesus wept I'm paying for it now! my groin area and legs are killing me! :rotfl:

Ok thanks, Yay on the passata switch, I probably ended up with the same amount of syns then, it doesnt give you a break down on the recipie.
