I can't promise to be so quick in the future, this is because I have only just joined online and am still excited about looking up syns online (so sad!).
The nearest I can find is:
Dairy Milk Bar, 39g Multipack bar, each chunk 2 syns

Thanks - that's ok - I used to enjoy looking up for people when I had the passowrd from class.

10 syns per tiny bar is sooo not worth it! :mad: Damn and blast my binging habit! 65 syns today and I was doing so well until I got home from work.

Hello Mummy of 5, if you look at your list and at Mrs M's list for a day there are the same number of different foods (approx). If you complete the online diary too it comes out as individual ingredients not as complete meals and sometimes I look at mine and am amazed at the great long list! Are you drinking plenty of water with all those free foods? And perhaps have an apple instead of one of the helpings of couscous or something, so you increase the superfree at the expense of the free. But it all looks ok to me (I'm no expert though); you aren't adding sugar to hot drinks or anything like that are you? Is it worth trying a couple of days of Consultant's Superspeed Soup to see if it jolts your body into submission? Best of luck

thankyou i will try what you said
no sugar in drinks i can't stand it !
i do have problems with binge/compulsive eating so am trying to change the foods first , then tackle the quantity/frequency
but after such a drastic change in what i am eating it would have been nice to see some results

oh and the cous cous is probably about 3/4 superfree veg too !!

TakeItEazy

Thanks for all the congrats, am still on a high as a proud Mum

Today I have mostly been eating:

B - weetabix milk [a] coffee

L - ermmm fibre plus was going to view a bungalow with my Mum

T - SW chips, 2 quorn sausages, toms, beans, s/cream [.5], oil spray [2]

Snacks - pineapple, melon, wild plums, muller, meringue [2.5]

Syns - 5

I even resisted the cheese scone & rocky road at the cafe with Mum & sister after viewing :A

Am sooooooooooooooooo tired now, need an early night. Sweet dreams all.

The nearly frozen mullerlight was lovely although I did get a touch of freezer burn on my tongue because I was shovelling it in so fast!! :rotfl: Definitely one to do again & again trying different flavours Still interested in how the strawberry cheesecake one turned out btw, betty!!

I didn't have dinner till about half 9 so didn't have the muller in the end. I will get it out a few hours before dinner tomorrow and hopefully by the time i eat it it will be soft like ice cream!! fingers crossed.

I have had a bit of a think today and analysed my eating habits. basically i think i need to 'graze' more in order to stop myself getting hungry at 4pm (every day, without fail! today i caved in and had toast ) so i'm not splitting it up into meals anymore.

EE plan tomorrow:
shredded wheat (1/2 heb)
skim milk (1/2 hea) and some in tea
2 ryvita with peanut butter (1.5 syn and 1/2 heb, any idea on PB syns please?????)
plum tomatoes
chicken noodle soup w/veg
herbal tea and 2 plums
small bit of pasta with veg
baked potato with beans and cheese (1/2 hea + syns depending on weight of chunk used) and veg on the side
frozen muller


that is a lot of food! blaming * week for my unending hunger at the mo

I don't think egg is superfree...it's only fruit and veg that's free on both plans that counts as superfree.

dizzyk wrote: »

eggs are free on both....so is quorn.

BUT when it goes on about SUPERFREE it is veg & fruit....so that would be any veg and fruit that you could eat freely on either plan (basically not spuds peas or sweetcorn is how I tend to remember it to make it simple)spuds however are free to eat still on ee just not SUPERFREE

so to make your brekkie ee you could have eggs beans bacon & then1/3 plate toms mushrooms superfree

As long as 1/3rd of waht you eat is superfree then your ok

I have had for breakfast:

Right according to my directory eggs are superfree! So for EE does it stipulate that 1/3 MUST be FRUIT/VEG or does it just stipulate 1/3 MUST be SUPERFREE FOOD

Someone mentioned spuds before too, as far as I am aware potatoes are not suoerfree anyway, as they are not free on red days and have to be synned or used as HE. So although they are freely allowed on EE i see it as they can't count as the superfree food.

I am just trying to get my head around this EE, not meaning to be a pain:)

I have a huge list in the front of my directory of Superfree branded and unbranded foods, so surely ANYTHING off those lists would counts for the 1/3 rule UNLESS it states that the 1/3 MUST be fruit and veg???


Where is consultant31 when you need her:p

morning all

Redmel-I have always believed eggs to be free and not superfree -but the debate made me check
I have just looked at my food optimising book again and Im reading eggs to be FreeFoods ..
on page 9 it reads:-

Plus all the fabulous free foods you can enjoy any time to satisfy your appetite, also with no limits -they include:-

• lean meat and poultry
• fish and seafood
• potatoes, pulses and starchy veg
• rice pasta and grains
• Eggs
• fat free dairy
• vegetable proteins, eg -quorn and tofu

hope that makes sense -Im sure consultant will be along to makes sure we get it right...
oh and I always use 1/3 veggies/salad for my superfree with meals (even though I do red days)-the idea is to reduce the space you have on your plate for everything else -so you eat less of the higher caloried foods...

Well it was fairly nice this morning so it was a walk around the golf course for us... tomorrow -hubby has a golf comp so I will be having a lazy day and then Thursday will be a trip to the gym . I had my 1st trip to the gym yesterday and ecky thump -I loved it :eek:



My red meal plan today looked like this:-

• banana
• nectarine
• ham
• prawns
• beetroot
• tomato
• gherkin
• nectarines
• activia lemon (2.5)
• cheese stuffed parmesan chicken :-
• chicken breast
• 21g low fat cheddar (1/2 heA)
• 21g fresh parmesan (1/2 he A)
• 12g breadcrumbs (2)
• 198g steamed potatoes (B)
