can anyone help me please (I have just started SW extra easy, I have my second WI tomorrow, so far iv lost 1.5lb)
Iv just got home from the gym and am starving, iv just eaten half a packet of Ainsley Harriot Moroccan medley cous cous. I tried to work out the syn value online....for half a pack-130g its 9syns. It was such a tiny portion I wanted to double check I was right. I also did a google search and many people claim it only to be half or 1 syn. Am I not using the syn calculator correctly??

137kcal
5.4 protein
25.4 carbs
1.5 fat


130g per serving, 2 servings in the 100g dried pack

God I hope im making sense!!!

thanks in advance

Hey everybody, it's been a bit of a strange day for me food wise! I went to meet my mom in town and we ended up in the travel agent for an hour and a half, looking for a holiday!

Missed lunch, but that was the only blip really. I went to the gym after town so I'm happy that I included some activity in my day.

I had an EE day today:

B - 2 wholemeal toast (HEB) 2 eggs

Snack - Banana, blueberries

L - Toasted teacake with butter (I'm estimating about 12 syns?)

Snack - fruit pack (melon,pineapple,orange)

D - Pork loin chops, with onion, green beans and new potatoes.

Syns 12

(I'm now using sweetner in my tea, so I've freed up some syns!)

Thankyou so much, now I know I can make up a whole packet and take it on our picnic tomorrow, it was delicious, Im glad you clarified that for me. Would I be correct in saying when using the calculator I have to use the drop down menu for a 'green' item. I am normally working out syn values for chocies and biscuits so havnt had to use the red or green drop down menu before. Thanks again:j

I looked it up on the online syns but if you use calculator make sure you put in your free food allowance ie for this one cous cous. I hope that helps
