Pistachio Nuts

1 syn per 20 calories so you should be able to work it out from the info on the label.

It's 7.5 syns for 25g shelled!x

I read that in Food Optimising and I was pretty suprised, I didn't think nuts and seeds would even have a syn value. Shame since I have some pistachio's in the cupboard.

They're outrageously high in fat and calories unfortunately They might be 'good for you' in the *type* of nutrition they contain, but they are not an option for losing weight You can have small portions as a HEX on Green though

A much better choice to use syns on than other rubbish though if you love nuts as they're natural and full of good fat and protein. I've lost weight in past and snacked on nuts all day (not while following slimming world) and fried veggies in coconut oil everyday, not all fats makes you fat. It depends what diet you follow really. But unfortunately they are syned on sw as its a low fat plan. But syns are there to be used :-D might have to try a green day, I didn't know you could have them as a hex!

I really love pistachios and could easily eat a whole bag, so iv just avoided them
Completely!!x

But thankyooooooooou! x
