Lantana bio live 0% vanilla = 6 Syns for a 450g pot.
No mention of honey one I'm afraid.
* please note, my directory is 2014 edition so may not be completely up to date.
Syns allowed (Facebook group) says 6 for large vanilla and 5.5 for a large honey - both for 450g pots.
Hope that helps x

Thank you!


I'm going off 1.5 syns for a 125g pot.

Oh don't worry with my Epic PMT, bloating and chronic hunger with it I think I'll be up that at least too. But I will also be being a big girl and declaring whatever the gain is in the morning.


Its a new week now and we can get it off. You have done so well, you'll be back to where you want to be in too time.

afternoon all,


so despite my best efforts at preparation today hasn't gone as well as hoped:


Breakfast: HeB toast plus 2 syns for jam
lunch: salad with 2 syns light salad cream, chocolate rice cake 4 syn


sounds alright> but I've also had a giant croissant from today's event a bazillion syns I'm sure.


Tea: redeeming myself slightly: salmon baked in the oven with some onion and cherry tomatoes, boiled new potatoes, baby carrots, peas, sweetcorn, broccoli free yogurt for dessert


got a fruit trio (melon, strawberries and kiwi) already prepped for evening snackages!


Tomorrow:
breakfast: at an event - bacon (fat removed), beans, grilled tomato, grilled mushroom
lunch: if hungry (rarely that hungry after my friday morning events nowadays) salad again, potential a microzapped jacket spud. fruit pot prepped at home
tea: going to defrost some mince overnight and chuck a chile in the slow cooker to have with rice and fat free natural yogurt will add: onion, kidney beans, baked beans, chopped tomatoes, grated carrot


A couple of asides - a week or so ago I mentioned I was having garlic and herb chicken kiev and how much I was looking forward to it - it was a TOTAL let down I was so disappointed and won't be rushing to have it again!


today I went for my new patient health check at my new GP surgery; the nurse weighed me and it was 3lb lower than my home scales - mid afternoon with a reasonably heavily business dress and blazer on! I've wondered for a while about my home scales though; since moving actually, as they don't give me the same reading twice and moving them around the bathroom or even taking them downstairs to the other non-carpeted floors my weight can vary by up to 8lbs!

:T to greenbeanie, dubbya and lulu for losses and you too shala!


tweets I think you should stick to the chips and curry sauce, you lose with that.;)


And greenbeanie, I think you'd best just go and enjoy your tour of India. Obvious things to avoid are bhajis and naan and maybe stick to small portions. What a fabulous trip.:)


lush, I'd stick with what the surgery scales say. Would they be willing to weigh you every week?;) Shame about the kiev as you were looking forward to it. You'd be better off doing chicken wrapped in bacon or with Philly then you'd know the syns. I see you're adding yogurt to your chilli. Cottage cheese is really nice with chilli too in place of sour cream. I've always got some in so I use that.


sue, chick peas don't count as Speed veg but they do count as protein so very good for you.


This is the recipe that b-e-g posted.



Austrian Ham and Potato Hash - syn free on ee - serves 4 (or 2 greedy so and so's )

Frylight
1 onion, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 celery stalks, roughly chopped
2 x 300g cans peeled new potatoes in water, drained and roughly chopped
340g can lean ham, roughly chopped
1 tsp caraway seeds
1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
2 carrots, coarsely grated
175mls chicken or veg stock (we used 150mls)
handfuly fresh flat leaf parsley finely chopped

Spray large frying pan with frylight and place over a medium heat. Add onion, garlic, celery and pots and stir-fry for 6-8 mins or until lightly browned.

Stir in the ham, caraway seeds, paprika, carrots and stock and cook for 6-8 mins or until the veg are tender and most of the stock has been absorbed.

Scatter over the parsley, stir well and serve immediately.

Top each portion with a poached or fried egg.


I tweaked it a bit. I added sliced mushrooms and used my own potatoes cubed and almost cooked with thinly sliced carrots. I used cumin instead of caraway and added 15g of chorizo as I only had a small tin of ham. Instead of serving it straight from the pan I put it in a dish and reheated in the oven. Then I served it with veg on the side instead of eggs as my DH doesn't eat them.

Back with my menu for today.


Unfortunately I've had lots of syns too as I had a sandwich at lunchtime: smoked salmon and cream cheese and it was on granary. Salmon and cheese is OK so I suppose another could be worse meal.:)


EE plan:
B: NAS Grapefruit, HEB porage, HEA milk
L: sandwich
SW spaghetti Bolognese
Syns: squirt of syrup, Parmesan and sandwich:(

:grouphug: for those who've gained. I hope you have a bette week.

Shall for what it's worth I think you've made the right decision. I have to say now I'm weighing at home and doing SW I have a much healthier attitude towards weigh ins. I used to get so worried about going and would stop eating and drinking from lunchtime onwards before my evening class:eek:

Now I weigh first thing in the morning with no clothes on so there's no excuse that I've got heavier clothes on etc. and then I can just get on with the rest of the day. I also used to have the night 'off' after weigh in and often had a takeaway or chocolate and the attitude used to last several days sometimes!

Anyway enough rambling today I've had
Breakfast - wholemeal roll and bacon (he)
Lunch - chicken breast with loads of tomato and cucumber topped with grated cheese (he)
Dinner - hairy biker chicken korma (1/2 syn) and SW szchezuan spiced aubergine (1/2syn) with rice
