    So... anyone wanna help me guesstimate the syns of mushroom chow mein and quorn + veggies in satay sauce? (the really spicy stuff, i'm not even sure if it has got peanuts in?!)

    Here's my food diary for today. Was at work today so had to pick up something quick after breakfast to make sure I didn't grab something high in syns when I finished from the train station, I think i'll take a bigger bag to work next time and quickly put some pasta n sauce in a tupperware filled with hot water so it cooks while I walk to the train station and I can eat it on the train, and hopefully not be hungry by the end of my shift. I wouldnt mind but it's only 4 hours long :rotfl::rotfl:

    Also had an improptu visit to Pizza Hut for tea :p had the potato wedges to share and then had the chicken arribatta pasta. Does anyone know the syn value for the pizza hut Potato Wedge please? :A bit out of my syn range, with the wedges but hopefully not done too much damage :D

    FRIDAY 5th - Extra Easy

    Morning/Afternoon

    · 2 slices of wholemeal toast (HEB)
    · Heinz spaghetti
    · cheese snack a jacks 30g (6)

    Evening

    · apple
    · roast chicken fridge raiders (2.5)
    · softmint (0.5)
    · Pizza hut chicken arribatta pasta (5.5)
    · ½ portion of potato wedges (???????)

    TOTAL SYNS = 14.5 without the wedges

    Also need a HEA to use up, but not sure on what seeing as I don't have any syns left! I don't like just drinking milk... or eating just cheese on it's own either :rotfl:

    A side serving of Potato Wedges in Pizza Hut is
    8 syns on Extra Easy and green :o
    19 syns on Red

    Thanks :j Do you reckon that would be for the starter portion size?? Because 4 syns for my half seems pretty reasonable, but if not 8 for my half seems slightly steep.

    Can someone check mars fun size please? My book says 20g 4.5 syns but my mars is 18g. Same with twix fun size, book says 21g 5.0 sys but twix is 20g. So eveythings smaller but bet syns aren't.

    Food today:

    This size v weight thing, I don't get it really. I got to size 10/12 at last target weighing 10st 2lb, went up to 11st 12lb and still size 12. Am well below new target and now lighter than I've been for 30+ years but still a size 12 so go figure :cool:.

    .
    8g miniatures are 2 syns each so ur 18g size is between 4.0 & 4.5 syns so I suppose syn count depends on your total syn count for the day :)

    Maintained this week which is really good, despite a curry and croissant fest this weekend thanks to parents coming down to visit.

    *please note that curry and croissants were separate!

    Did anyone see come down with me this afternoon? That pomegranate salad looked amazing, think I'm going to make it this week but leave out the oil.

    Here is the recipe, I can imagine it being nice and refreshing.

    2 red onions, very finely sliced
    2 shallots, very finely sliced
    3 pomegranates, seeds only
    Large handful mint leaves
    3 tbsp lime juice
    1 tbsp lemon juice
    7-8 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper
