Thread: How much Philadelphia xtra light for H/E.A?!

Hi, i absoloutley love philadelphia cheese, i use the extra light one, i count it as a HE which I am guessing is okay?, but I actually don't know how much I am allowed to have, does anybody know?

I have been using A LOT of sweet chilli sauce and found out it is 1 1/2 syns per tbls So I'm in the middle of finding out the correct values and amounts for things I have been too relaxed with!!!!!
Thank you!

Are you registered with lifeline online? You can get all the weights and measurements on there and all the Syn values. Sorry, I can't look at the moment as I haven't got the password

Thanks Taz, I can only seem to find the syn value for the little tubs and things, where would i look for the HE bits?

Ohhh thats weird I was just looking for this.
I can see Philadelphia on the on line syns is 2 syns for 28g but I can't see it as a HE. I'm going to guess at 42g for the low fat version as that seems to be the norm for lower fat cheeses. I wonder it it isn't listed as it doesn't have enough calcium or something??

Just had a good look round the site and it's not mentioned at all in the HE section. Maybe it isn't one?!

thank you ladies for your help, i am going to ask in class tommorow, and if its syns, i'll switch to laughing cow i guess hehe

Ok girlies I looked it up on the slimming world site (am on online member as well)and you can use soft cheese as an HE A as follows:

Full fat soft cheese 42g
Med fat soft cheese 57g
Low fat soft cheese 85g

So if you have the extra light that is 85g. woo hoo, I am going to get some now that I realise I get that much!

Ah I was looking for it by brand rather than by description. Well done Steph

Tesco and asda do their own brand tubs and they are flavoured IE; garlic and herb, as long as you choose low fat you can have 85g of them too!

Thank you Steph, you're a star! Heres me thinking my fave cheese is a syn:O
At least I won't feel guilty eating now. Yummy

I like the sound of flavoured ones!

The garlic and herb HE tescos brand is lovely!!

Never ever buy the Sainsburys extra extra extra low fat soft cheese. Yuk.

philiadelphia goes lovely with pasta for a green day- nice eaten cold/hot - i have it alot for work - nice n convenient. Pasta, sweetcorn, spring onion, a meat if want and philidelphia (garlic and herb is gorgeous). You can add any salad/veg you want. x

i love philadelphia mmmmmmmmm. xx

its on a HEB on a red day though . xx
