Vixxster · 8th November, 2009

thanks for the tip I will defo try those Asda fillets! Anything to bulk up my superfree food intake! xx

Circes · 8th November, 2009

I'm sorry to break a few bubbles here but most of the Asda meat free range is not syn free because it's made of soya protein and not quorn. Most has only a small syn value but worth remembering and therefore not superfree either.

Asda Meat Free, Chicken Style Pieces, frozen 350g pack

Original 2½ Syns Green 2½ Syns

Asda Meat Free, Chicken Style Fillets, twin pack, frozen 115g each

Original 3½ Syns Green 3½ Syns

Asda Meat Free, Lincolnshire Sausages, 5 pack, chilled 56g each

Original 1 Syns Green 1 Syns

Asda Meat Free, Meatballs, frozen 400g pack

Original 3 Syns Green 3 Syns

Asda Meat Free, Mince, frozen 600g pack

Original 8 Syns Green 8 Syns

Ouch!

It's awful to be the bearer of bad news but it's better to be aware of the 'syn pits' than to go on blissfully unaware.

Vixxster · 8th November, 2009

I didn't think the Asda stuff was syn free, i was surprised but it seemed reasonable that the fillets were.

TESCO Lincolnshire meat free sausages, which is what I have, ARE free though.

debbywebby1970 · 8th November, 2009

I got this straight from my Food Directory.... hmmmmm now Im confused. ! ! ! !

You're quite right, I just had a quick look

I must say I like the sound of the Spinach and Ricotta cheese sausages. Has anyone tried them?

I eat Morrisons eat smart sausages. Pork ones are free, cumberland just half a syn. Or WW sausages which are half a syn.

debbywebby1970 · 8th November, 2009

Right I am totally confused, can someone help me figure this out please.?
On page 12 of my food directory it clearly says that these are a superfree food.
If I have to syn them, its ok, I have spare syns for today, but Im just thinking that if I didnt have the internet at home, I would be relying on this book alone...
Am I totally missing something really obvious here and making an eejit of myself.??? (wouldnt be the first time lol)

SaraC · 8th November, 2009

I had Quorn Cumberland sausages, Fry light fried mushrooms, beans and 2 boiled eggs!! Yummy and all free!

Unfortunately the book is only ever going to be totally accurate at the point in time that it is written. The syn directory has been out for some time and the new updated version will be out soon. It may be that the ingredients have changed since the book was published but if you want to be sure you could alway phone the syn helpline. Sorry to not be of more help.

debbywebby1970 · 8th November, 2009

no, its ok..... I have changed my menu for today.. I have syns left over to cover it anyway...
What a SHAME. ! ! ! ! ! ! oh well....

debbywebby1970 · 10th November, 2009

Had my weigh in last night, and asked my consultant about these things...
she says that they are DEF free, superfree in fact. ! ! ! Now Im confused even more.
Think I will take them as 3.5 syns in future just to be on the safe side......
I mean.. looking at the packet I can see why they would have syns in them, as per 100g there is 9.8g fat in them, and the ingredients are soya protein, rapeseed oil, and dried potato.

judimac · 10th November, 2009

I've just put a rice bake in the oven. I feel the need for something hot!

Cook a pack of Batchelors rice ( hope it's still free!) then dry fry onions, garlic, pepper and add some peas. Season and beat up some eggs (i used 4 med) Wack in a loaf tin for 35-40mins at 180c
If I have a spare hexa then I'll grate in some cheese. You could also add quark . 2 BIG portions! Free on green and EE.

Donnie46 · 10th November, 2009

That sounds great Judi, I must try it, thank you.

Donnie46 · 10th November, 2009

I am EE today, so I am having Beans on Toast for lunch today.

gobolino · 10th November, 2009

Thanks for the quorn-less idea ! I'm at work so my packed lunch was:

Large salad, rocket leaves, cottage cheese, 42g feta cheese (HA) and 20g mixed seeds (HB)..... I have a nice pear for later, yummy yummy.

Just had fruit for breakfast so today may well turn into an EE day, just not sure what to have for tea yet !
