    I would say stick to Ryvita :D Scan bran is ten times more difficult to swallow. And tastes of NOTHING.

    I don't know how you can say that, they have a definite taste.........................................of cardboard :rotfl::rotfl:
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    I'm no expert but I've looked in my book and I think you would have to syn the peas as well on a red day. Peas and sweetcorn seem to be free on EE and green but not red. I could well be wrong though.:)

    No you're not wrong. Peas, along with some beans, sweetcorn, parsnips etc are all starchy veg and therefore not free on the red plan.

    Hello again!

    well, a funny thing happened to me this evening. I went to make my dinner, opened the freezer to get my quorn sausages and found that I didn't have any. I had some Linda McCartney ones though, so I went for those instead. However, these have 2 syns each whereas the quorn ones are free. Because of this I only had 2 instead of the 3 I would have had if they were free, and I was perfectly happy with my dinner. So, the moral of the story is I've been eating more than I need (but we knew that anyway by looking at my huge belly), so next time I'll stick with 2 sausages whether synned or free, because that's plenty for a nice dinner.

    What a revelation!!!!
