    We are going to a friends house for dinner on Friday and will be having Fajitas. She gave me the nutrition details of the box. Can I have some help with the syn value of Asda's Mexican Fajita Dinner Kit
    The value below is not per 100g but 1/4 of the packet

    Tortillas
    Energy 974kj 231kcal
    protein 6.6
    Carbohydrate 38.8
    of which sugars 7.8
    Fat 5.5
    which saturates 2.4
    fibre 2.2
    sodium 0.82
    salt 2.1

    Salsa
    Energy 47kj 11kcal
    protein 0.3
    Carbohydrate 2.0
    of which sugars 1.7
    Fat 0.2
    which saturates Nil
    fibre 0.2
    sodium 0.07
    salt 0.2

    seasoning
    Energy 83kj 20kcal
    protein 0.5
    Carbohydrate 3.5
    of which sugars 0.8
    Fat 0.4
    which saturates 0.1
    fibre 1.0
    sodium 0.59
    salt 1.5

    If it is to high in syn values perhaps I can skip the tortillas and just have the meat with seasoning and salsa with loads of salad

    Taco shells are only 2syns each by the way :)
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    nAfter promising myself I'd post daily on Monday, I forgot yesterday - what am I like?

    So here's my catch up post

    Yesterday

    Breakfast 2 x weetabix HHEB) with milk (HEA)
    Snack 3 x clementines

    Costa Small Skinny Hot choc - I want to use my other HEA for the milk in this but what would I syn for the chocolate?

    Lunch
    Jacket potato, VFF Cottage cheese, Tomato salad
    3 x clementine
    muller light

    Dinner
    SW quiche
    Boiled potatoes
    HM Coleslaw - counting this as half a syn as I put WAY too much mustard powder in so could hardly eat any.
    Pud - Quark cheesecake - 1.5 syn (+ 1/2 HEB)
    Cereal bar 1/2 HEB

    Total 2 syns + hot choc so hopefully this will be ok

    Today

    Breakfast 2 x weetabix (HEB) with milk (HEA)

    Snack
    Muller yoghurt

    Lunch
    leftovers from yesterday's tea so all free as no coleslaw ;-)
    banana

    Snack
    Apple

    Dinner
    lentil & carrot curry 1/2 syn for oil as my fat sprayer bottle thingy broke
    Rice

    Pudding
    Curly Wurly Cake - whata waste of a curly wurly and 4 syns - frozen vanila muller corner masquerading as ice cream. Wish I'd just eaten the curly wurly to be honest. ;-(

    So 4 and a half sysns - I did have 3 celebrations at work today as it was someones birthdya so I reckon I'm quits for the day.

    Well done to all the big losers and chin-up to all the slower ones like myself. I'm a pound a week girl despite sticking to 70 syns a week and going to the gym 2-4 times a week. Will get there eventually.........

    Its not what you do but the way that you do it, thats what get results :T

    I took the plunge last night and joined my local SW group - my sis had done WW last year but had got bored and has switched to SW - so I thought I'd give it a try! I have a number of stones to lose...:o...but I have taken the first step!

    You have indeed taken the most difficult step, well done, you won't regret it. Food Optimising is simply the best:j
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    Dinner: Jacket potato with bean chilli
    Snacks: Muller light yogurt, raspberries and strawberries

    Need to have another HEB and get some more syns in there.

    Had some cheese (HEA2) on top of chilli and a salad and some light mayonnaise (2 syns) on the side.

    Went to the gym tonight - so had a banana before going and 2 Alpen light bars (HEB2) when I got back.

    Only had 3 syns today - not sure that I need any more food - should I have more syns today?

    I'm pleased to report a 1.5lb weight loss :-) I'm very happy with that! Just had HM pizza and salad and it was scrummy! Back on the wagon in the morning.

    :wave:

    Hi everyone. Taking the plunge with the new thread, I got lost on the old one!! I signed up to SW at the end of April and I'm currently 1st 2lb lighter (YAY!). 2st left to lose to get to my very optimistic target (would leave me around a size 8-10).

    I've had a very bad week so far, with another bad weekend coming up. I have started to exercise more now though. I've just had such a craving for sweet stuff. I weigh in on Thursdays, but my consultant is getting married this week so I have a week to redeem myself!

    However just because life has to be that little bit more challenging Krispy Kreme are opening a shop near me next week :(
