Anyone know how many syns are in Amoy Straight to wok succulent szechuan tomatoe stir fry sauce? Its 160g but i only had 2 teaspoons?.........Trying to work out if I am allowed anything else tonight
The whole thing is 9 synsA teaspoon = 5ml/g roughly so i'd calculate the syns at about 0.5 for 2 tsps
Does that sound about right fellow SWders??All hail to the sale!!!!!! :beer:

Did my mini WI yesterday morning and have lost 1.75 pounds which is ok I guess - I've never been one of those people who lose loads on their first week.
Keep up the good work girls!0 -
:eek:Could anyone help me with syns on beefburgers.
I got them from butcher so no wrappers.
They are sold as steakburgers and I grilled and ate 2 with mushy peas!!
Thought if grilled and steakburger they would be lean, not too much fat dropped out on grilling. I wasn't counting any syns on Extra Easy. Should I??
Can anyone help me with this I'm panicking!!!!!!!0 -
They'll definitely need to be synned because as you say the meat is unlikely to be extra lean. Even draining the fat off lean meat doesn't make it syn free I'm afraid. it's impossible to say the syn values for sure without knowing the ingredients and weight but assuming they will be high % meat coming from butcher I would guesstimate them as
Basic/Non Branded Foods Beef, burgers, luxury/premium, grilled 85g average
3½ Syns on Extra Easy
Original 3½ Syns
Green 8½ Syns

Weigh in tonight and i lost 2lbs on my first week. Considering i fell off the wagon a couple of times that's not too bad. I'm hoping if i'm strict this week i'll get 3lbs. Time to get exercising more often!!! xDebt to clear: feels endless...
Weight loss to go: 42lb/13.5lb
Maybe someday i'll be skinny, organised and debt free..

Susan, I recently discovered a chicken, tomato and rosemary recipe from the BBC good food website. It's delicious, in fact it's now one of our favourites! I hope you enjoy yours as much!
My menu for today (EE):
Breakfast - Porridge (HEA&B) and a banana
Lunch - salad, couscous, egg, slald cream (2)
Tea - at OH's parents, apparently we're having fillet steak but we've been pre-warned it will be cremated! I've no idea what we'll have with it and there will be a pudding too....hopefully fruit for me!
Snacks - Loads of fruit! I've got a nectarine, 2 plums and 4 satsumas.0 -
Off out for a meal tonight to celebrate my nieces birthday - I've eaten out more since doing sw than I ever have in my life!! Testing my willpower
Part of me thinks I'll just have whatever I fancy but I know if I do that I'll regret it tomorrow - my weight loss is soooo slow anyway and atm I'm feeling like I'll never lose this last stone so will go for something that fits with EE. Probably steak with jacket and beans and hopefully some salad. Last 3 days I've used up all of my 15 syns which is unusual for me - I'm hoping I'm pre menstrual otherwise I'm just turning into a little piggy
Some people see the glass half full, others see the glass half empty - the enlightened are simply grateful to have a glass0
