Thread: Dairylea spread

Can you use dairylea spread as a HEX instead of the trianges? If so how many grams can you have.

Thanks hun. I just text my leader - why on earth can't you use it if you weigh in out to the same weight as a triangle? I just don't understand! xx

god knows??i dont get it either,all i can say its not listed in the hea choices.let us know what your leader says

Well she text back saying I can't have it as a HEX :/. It's really stupid. It's not like there is different ingrediants it's exactly the same thing but not in little triangles. BUgger it. I only have the spread in the house so i'm going to use it and just weigh out the same amount as a triangle. Surely there can't be any difference?

Hex b lists

42g full fat soft cheese
57g medium fat soft cheese or
85g low fat soft cheese.

I don't know if that helps or not.

tbh i would use it to if it was all i had in the house just go easy with it..course theres a difference it in a triangle silly lolxx

Lol. ok so the only difference is the shape!!!! What a weird one that is. Anyways i'm just going to weigh the cheese out to 22.5g as a light triangle would be! End of! My mams bought it and will kill me if I don't use it. haha

Also 42g cheese spread

Lol. I've just weighed it out of the tub. It's exactly the same thing APART from it's in a tub and not a triangle . Thanks for you help xx

no problems honey and enjoy it after this big debate xx

I think it's just that in triangles, it's a set amount portion, every single time, which helps to keep things in control. Measuring out is a bit of a pain, and we're more likely to just spread it out til it looks like enough, which might lead to eating more than you should have. If it's in triangles, you can have two or three, however many it says, and then you know where you are.
