I was in Aldi this morning and the Benefit light cereal bars are back. The ones around 70 cals like the Alpen lights used to be. Can the Aldi ones be used as a healthy extra B?

I know they used to be and looking at the info they have more fibre than the old Alpen lights so I bought a box and hoped they were.

Unless they have changed the recipe they used to be on the list & I can't see on the latest healthy extras section that they have been taken off, perhaps the website it playing up?? I would double check later on, I hope ours get them back in again, & they are on the list as I loved them, old Alpen lights & hi fi bars are expensive.

The way I look at it: You've had no meat so OK for Green and no meat to syn. You're allowed 2 HEBs (2Caramel Hifis is one and the other is Tesco Wheat Biscuits) for your HEAs you've had ss milk (250 ml allowed) and Blue Laughing Cows (4 allowed). I haven't checked your syns but I'm sure you're right as you eat them regularly.


All I'd query is whether the Tesco biscuits are a HEB. There's only 4 cereal bars showing up on the website today as HEBs but sary thinks the site might have a blip.


mim, Scan Bran are sort of crispbreads that they sell at group meetings and at Holland & Barrett. 5 count as a HEB and they have the advantage of being packed with fibre. The disadvantage is that many people say they're very difficult to eat a bit like swallowing cardboard! That's probably why you've seen so many references as people try to find ways of making them palatable.

Just knocking up a mushy pea curry.

Top Boy was off school ill today so we are on no body magic at all, he seems much better now though, fingers crossed it was just a 24 hour thing so that he is all better by tomorrow AND I can get out to buy some of that white bread

B - Bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomatoes, HEXB toast
D - GT's recipe for SW quiche with 1/2 HEXA cheese, bacon, mushroom, red pepper, red onion and courgette in with a large mixed salad, apple, pear and walkers french fries
T - SW bolognese sauce on a baked potato

HEXA - Milk/cheese
HEXB - Bread

Syns - Options 2, Crisps 4.5

Tomorrow's meal plan is

B - Bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomatoes and beans
D - Same quiche with salad, pineapple and kiwi chunks and an apple
T - Mushy pea and cod curry with rice and a pitta.

HEXA - Milk/cheese
HEXB - Pitta

Syns - Options 2

Do I need more superfree with tea do you think or is the fact that the curry is roughly 1/3 tomatoes going to be enough considering I will have smashed them at dinner time, having had mushroom, courgette, red onion, red pepper, yellow pepper, tomato, cucumber, gherkin, pickled onion, beetroot and lettuce plus my fruit?

SW website is playing up today and I can't find anything other than 4 choices of cereal bars on the list today. By the sounds of things they should be on the list.

I was surprised to see only four bars listed too. Maybe you're right and it's the website. I'll check again later.

The website is correct, these are the only cereal bars that are HEB now

Mrs Ryan - Sorry but you need to syn one of your HiFi bars - salted caramel are only 1 for HEB not 2; think they are 6 syns each.

TopGirl - you seem to have enough SFs in your plan, so don't think you need to add extra veg.

I have been looking at the recipe thread and keep seeing references to Scan Bran, please can someone explain what this is and where I can find it. Thx

Scan Bran is a very high fibre crispbread. You can either buy it at SW or Holland and Barrett also sell it. I personally don't like it. If you eat it make sure you drink plenty of water. Lots of people use them to make cakes.

Hope that helps

Mrs_Ryan

Sorry just to clarify- I only had one HiFi, my stupid iPhone must have put it twice for some reason!! I know the salted caramels are 1 for a HEB. Hadn't noticed that- thanks! And also as well- Tesco wheat biscuits are basically Weetabix but Tesco's own brand. I note in the book it does say it's fine to substitute supermarket own brands of the same cereal- again I should probably use the generic brand name rather than what they actually are

B 35g oats (HEB) fat free yoghurt, frozen berries, sweetener all mixed tog covered and left in the fridge overnight
