OK - So I've had a look over your food for those 3 days. Mostly it looks okay but I've some comments/suggestions to make.
Some of it you may already know so forgive me if I'm doing a granny and eggs job here.
1. First off - you can have 1 (or 2) HexA plus 2 HexB per day on Red/Green. Only 1 of each on EE.
So according to what you've written you do look a bit Hex light occasionally.
But there are some things you are counting as syns which could count as a Hex.
And did you know you can split your Hex's?
eg 1 * Alpen Light bar can count as ½ HexB, 125 ml SS milk in teas/coffees can count as ½ HexA.
2. Are you actually measuring your Hex's and syns?
The easiest thing to get wrong is to guestimate sizes and so underestimate Hex portion and syns. Example:
* cod (HE) in paxo breadcrumbs (1)
* Say what weight/size you are having for your Hex's. Now with something like cod you are allowed 150g - which is a decent sized portion. But for something like Fresh Mackerel it's a measly 55g which is about 3 or 4 mouthfuls!!!!
* 1 syns worth of Paxo Breadcrumbs is a measly 5½g of crumbs (25g = 4½ syns). So I think you have probably underestimated this as you will almost certainly have used quite a lot more. I find I use 1 slice of wholemal bread from a 400g loaf (so 30g) to coat a 150g piece of cod - so if you used the same amount of instant crumbs this would be 4½ syns - although with instant crumbs you'd probably use less so say 3 syns.
3. Don't assume one brand that is syn free is the same in another brand.
* On your Ski-ing diary you've said "Aldi tomato and basil mug shot pasta"
* The only ones I can find on the SW website is "Aldi Cupshotz Pasta Snack, Tomato & Herb" - and this is not free it is 1 syn!
4. Let us know which HE you are having - it makes it easier for us to check that you aren't having too many of one and not enough of the other.
So for example say . . . beans and cheese (
HEA) on 1 slice of seeded toast (
HEB)
is seeded ok?
5. And to answer your question
is seeded ok? - generally NO.
There are a few Organic breads with seeds that count as a HexB. But other seeded breads from Warburtons and the like don't count as a HexB. From SW Online . . .
An average slice from am 800g loaf is between 40 and 50 g - so I'd OVER estimate and count 6 syns.
6. Quaker Instant Instant - if you are using the 27 g packets of the plain oats then these are 9 syns according to info taken from the nutritional info on Tesco's website. (If you didn't already know - then 20 kcal = 1 syn).
To class as a HexB there has to be at least 3g fibre per 120 kcal. So these don't have enough fibre to class as a HexB and too many cals.
If you have the syrup ones they are a whopping 11 syns per sachet, and the fruity ones also average at 11 syns per sachet.
How about switching to ordinary porridge oats? You can have 35g as your HexB and they actualy don't take much longer to do in a microwave than the instant ones! Or make Magic oats by leaving them soaking overnight in a 0% fat yogurt and heat in the micro. I've never had it (as I hate oats) but lots of people rave over them.
7. What a lot of people do is give a summary at the bottom of each day showing what Hex's they've had and how many syns. Helps you (and us) to keep a track of what you've had. So for example:
HexA - (1) 250 ml SS Milk in teas/coffees (2) 40g Low fat Cheddar
HexB - (1) 95g mince (2) 50g kipper
Syns Total = 10
Hope this makes sense! Yell up if I've assumed something that is wrong.
As I said, the easiest thing to get wrong is to guestimate sizes and so underestimate Hex portions and syns.
Every syn adds up and it is easy to say "Oh that's only 1 syn, I'll ignore that".
There's a fab post about "Everything Counts" - have a read, it's an eye opener.
