Anyone know the syns for the veggie pitta, I know it has the least calories of all the pittas/burgers but I know that doesnt always come into play with SW x

[sj3uk]

Just checked SW website and it says its 19 syns on all plans for the veggie pitta

[Skulldilocks]

Blimey! Wasn't expecting that, I guess the mayonnaise doesn't help! Thanks though, looks like its a good thing Im not veggie anymore :P

I went last night and was a bit naughty. I had half a chicken and ate the skin as well (couldn't resist) but they did give me two legs rather than bits of breast which are lower syns. So those were 2 syns each....
I had 2 tbsp of peri peri sauce on the side = 1 syn. Spicy rice = 2.5 syns. Macho peas = 3 syns!! It was flipping delish.
Grand total of 10.5 syns and WELL worth it. Had no other syns at all yesterday so I think that's a pretty good day

[Skulldilocks]

Thats good! I was actually about to asked about the sauce itself! When I go I get the mixed salad but the peri sauce (espesh the Garlic one) actually makes it enjoyable :P Thinking of buying some at home and always using is as a dressing if its only 1 syn for 2tblsp

Does anyone know if the butterfly chicken has skin and if the 3.5 syns includes this?? Thanks

[Skulldilocks]

I've never tried it but recall friebns having it and it had no skin, just grilled and has the marinade

Going tonight does anyone know the Syns for the ratatouille? Planning a red day so will either be that or salad with butterfly chicken :-)

[donna88]

I tried to work out the syns for the ratatouille and it came out at 3.5, don't think that's right though as I could only put one veg in as a free food :/ but if you count that it would cover for any oil they use.

How big is the portion of butterfly chicken? I've noticed it says you get 2 breasts, we're going with my brother for his Birthday (taking him snowboarding and then nando's) me and my boyfriend aren't big nando's fans and being tight begrudge paying £25 for our meals plus whatever my little brother wants. We we're thinking of getting the butterfly chicken with a portion of rice for me and a portion of chips for him, do you think that would be enough?

[lilbabyfish]

Yeah I normally get it with rice and a corn on the cob. It tends to vary in size every time I get it tbh!

[donna88]

I think we'll just share, can always rustle up a slimming world cooked breakfast if we get hungry later in the evening. But I think we should be okay

If I wasn't sharing, I was planning on doing the same as you and having a red day.

[I_dream_slim]

Definitely going to nandos soon based on this!!

[Summer86]

I had butterfly chicken breast with no skin and syns online said 3.5 however when I popped into the syn checker iPhone app it said 16 :S very confused but don't see how it could be 16 tbh

[donna88]

^^Did you remember to put chicken as a free food?


When I went we ended up sharing a full chicken, taking my syns up to 19 for the day, whoops

[Skulldilocks]

Pretty annoyed at nandos yest, planned to have butterfly chicken with rice and a portion of halloumi which added up to about 9 syns and was chuffed but then got there and they said you have to have 2 sides or 1 special side with butterfly chicken. I knew that meant I could have the salad on its own but I had my heart set on the rice. I asked if they could do a smaller portion of salad as a small side but nope. I ended up getting the garlic bread and eating one slice! of my bf hadnt already bought the entire menu before this happened he could've had the extra side. Least I know for next time I guess :/
