that sounds more feasible I think.Thanks for clearing this up!

Hmm, my "per serving" values still put it at 353 calories and 14.8g of fat, which seems too much for them to only be 1 syn? And working on the values that are given in this thread, isn't 3.5 syns on a red day very low for 100g of noodles? Sorry if I am causing confusion, just want to be sure and...

I have just bought some of the Maggi 2 minute noodles but on my pack it has COMPLETELY different nutritional info, like, 453 calories per 100g!!! I also found this thread on another forum that states they're 9.5 syns. Are these noodles you are talking about here a low fat version?? This is the...

lovely, thanks! I shall add them to my shop :D

Did anyone find out the syn values for these?! They're on offer at the moment!

oh no, that sucks! I'm not much good with puddings - I tend to just have a little chocolate or something if i want something sweet. There are lots of low syn treats you could have instead of a proper pudding, low fat ice cream and some fruits perhaps?

Could you use hazlenut oil instead of sesame oil do you think? I don't have any sesame oil!

I don't add much salt or pepper to anything either, but with soups its a necessity, otherwise they can be really really bland and horrible.

Jacket sweet potatoes are YUMMY! I am having roasted veg soup today. Cut the aubergine in half, chop up the courgette and whatever else you have in the fridge - I used a red onion, 3 cloves of garlic, half a red pepper and half a yellow pepper, spray them all with frylite, sprinkle with herbs...

sorry, just saw you said avoiding yoghurt. you could just add some stock for a bit of liquid, you don't need the yoghurt I just like it :)

I am going to try a sort of veggie balti this week, roast some aubergine, cut it up and fry it with onions, green chilli, spinach, cumin, garam masala, fresh coriander, add a bit of yoghurt and stir through cooked rice.

Do you need to leave this to mature before using?

have you tried any of the other flavours of the low fat variety? I have the thai sweet chilli ones and they are yummy!

There do seem to be a lot less flavours available in FF variety but I actually prefer them to the full fat ones, those tend to make me feel a bit sick afterwards to be honest!

these packet cupcakes are only 4 syns each! http://www.minimins.com/syn-values/229441-greens-strawberry-cupcake-mix.html And I've seen a lot that are around 6 to 8 syns, but not 15! Maybe if they have frosting and what not on them though, I guess that would add a lot.

I agree with kingleds, put some healthy extras in there and that will definitely help, and you don't need to syn your milk. You could have the poached eggs on wholemeal toast for the HexB? Also what about a snack like a toffee mullerlight with a chopped banana in it mid-morning? Also, 6 party...

FIFTEEN TO TWENTY SYNS EACH?!?!?! That is some hefty cupcake!

I thought that was the case with parsnips :) I will just have to find some celeriac and try these mystical things!

These sound yummy! I don't think I've ever eaten celeriac though so a bit unsure about it, swede sounds good though. Could you do it with carrots or parsnips or are they too soggy? Are parsnips even superfree, I can't remember!! (I have forgotten everything about winter veg and winter recipes...

Thanks guys :) I'm really hoping you're right about it being water-retention/not a "real" gain because of the awful foods I've eaten causing me to bloat etc. I have been good today, I had a coconut mullerlight with a banana for breakfast, ham and cheese salad sandwich on wholemeal for lunch...

After hearing about it on here a couple of weeks ago I am now loving the syn free diet shandy they do in Tescos!

Have been back on SW for a couple of months now and have been taking it slowly, not being too strict but trying to stick to plan through the week and letting myself have a bit of space on the weekend when I need to. The numbers have been going down, slowly, and I was happy as I was approaching...

Yay!!!:bliss: I hate peeling squash so this is excellent news! I will start buying it again now :D

let us know how the squash turns out with the skin on, I'm intrigued!

am I right in thinking you can also have 197g of new potatoes with the skin on as a HexB on a red day? I love these boiled then sliced up and either roasted or quickly fried in a bit of fry light. Would that be ok or would I have to syn them/save them for a green day?

ooo wine and a takeaway - you are making me SO jealous right now!!!!

Ooo I just found it online. 2 calories so I guess it really is free! Awesome! Having some of that to try and convince myself I'm having a beer I think!! :D

The diet shandy is free?? Really? Is this going to be the 1 syn lager all over again?!?

You can also get a spray caesar salad dressing that I *think* is free (correct me if I'm wrong someone!!) made by the same people. Its not the best but its not bad!!! I like it on potato salad :)

Sadly they are now 1 syn after the recipe changes. Syn values for all the new mullerlight versions are here http://www.minimins.com/syn-values/226942-mullerlight-syns-change.html

hmm, weird. I compared the ones I had in the fridge to the new ones and they were different weights. Can't see how I would have an old one though as I definitely bought them only a week or two before the pack changed... Maybe its the ones in the multipacks that had already been reduced and the...

Also has anyone else noticed that thought the pots are the same size, there is actually less yoghurt??

Finally found some last night (our Tesco mullerlight shelves look like they've been ransacked after the new varieties came out!!!) and they're ok. They're quite like the vanilla with chocolate sprinkles, with a coconutty aftertaste. Like the other ones with the sprinkles though I find the...

I think some of the Jordans muesli are HExBs, maybe the nut and seed one? You would need to check as I can't remember hehe. I find it odd when they change something from being a Hex to not being anymore, unless the recipe has changed it doesn't make sense to me!

ooo, that sounds cool! I don't have an iPhone though, I've got HTC. Hopefully something will come for the other smartphones soon, it does seem odd that SW haven't gotten on the app bandwagon sooner!

That sounds good, I will check it out, thanks for that!

Oh well, nevermind! Thanks for your help guys!

Oh dear :( I've done a bit of googling and there is a possibility the Tesco value ones do have skin on - has anyone had these?

I have been having tinned potatoes as my HexB on a red day, thought I was dead clever as half a tin is the exact amount I need... except I've just realised they don't have skin on so they don't count!!! I'm totally gutted as they are so much nicer than the crappy potatoes our local co-op sells...

Just wondering if anyone knows of any phone apps that I can use to keep a track of my syns throughout the day/week? I don't want a syn calculator, just somewhere I can note down what I've had so I can keep track of how many syns I have left!!!

Haha you can have 2 for 7 syns!! Or put one in the fridge/freezer and slice it up and nibble it!!! I do that to stretch my treat out!

I never knew you had to syn them if not eaten as part of a meal?!?! Why is that?

There is a UK website now with all the nutritional info on NUTRITIONAL INFO | Krispy Kreme I go by the 1 syn for every 20 calories rule. They are frighteningly high for some of them, but 11 syns for an original glazed one means you can probably have one as a rare treat!!!!

my chocolate craving fix is always a fun size milky way. At 3.5 syns they are perfect I think!

I love the mikado but there is no way I could limit myself to actually keep it low syn!!! Aero do a white chocolate mousse that is (I think) 3.5 syns and thats yummy, otherwise I would definitely go with the white choc options, maybe even with a cheeky tablespoon of squirty cream on top? Some of...

made this last night, substituting a stock cube in a bit of water for the bovril as I didn't have any in. The chicken wasn't as sticky because of this but it still worked fine and OMG it was DELISH! OH loved it and he is always complaining when I feed him something "diet!" Definitely making it...

oo coconut, nom! when are they out? haven't seen them in tesco yet!

I think I still have the old ones in the freezer... maybe i can sell them on the Quorn sausage black market ;)

I was about to come and ask the same think - on offer in tescos! I know the 20 calories to 1 syn rule, was just wondering if they would be hexBs as I know some of the Jordans muesli's are! I can never seem to keep up with what is and isn't a hexB these days!!

Thanks! will have a look there :)

I am just wondering if anyone has set up a 'clothes swap' thing on here, where people can trade some of the clothes that don't fit them anymore for ones that do? I have had a look around but can't see anything..

Tesco now do an egg fried rice version of these Tesco Steam Egg Fried Rice 4 X 200G - Groceries - Tesco Groceries does anyone know if the syn values are the same? They look handy to have in when cooking is feeling a bit too much like hard work!!

I think thats what great about SW, you can have these things once in a while and not feel like your whole week is shot, you just count the syns and try and account for it the rest of the week by filling up on free stuff. And it makes you really think about what you're eating. I find that where I...

Fab lollies are 4.5 syns Walls Light ice cream is 3 syns for a 100ml serving (i like the walls mixed with my milk HEA portion to make a yummy cold milkshake!)

I love making burgers with cheese in, they are yummy! We went to a BBQ yesterday, made some stuffed tomatoes that were delish! Just got some big beef tomatoes, cut the top off and scooped out the middle. Mixed the tomato insides with extra light mayo, tinned tuna, spring onion and seasoning...

I just put mine on raw, they cook fine. I also got some beef tomatoes cut the top off, scooped the insides out and mixed it with tinned tuna, spring onions and a little extra light mayo. Stuffed the tomatoes with that, wrapped them in tinfoil to hold them together and stuck them on the bbq, they...

If you can make your own burgers from lean mince that is always a safe bet for keeping things free! There are probably some good tips on the recipe forum!

those tubs are big, don't think I could manage a whole one! It is yummy though :) A woman at my old class used to freeze them and eat them like that, apparently they're lush! Anyone tried it? I'm always a bit worried it will go funny when I freeze it.

aww, wishful thinking!! thanks though! :) any idea why some of the healthy choice baxters ones are allowed as a healthy extra B? whats the difference between those and other ready made soups?

what about the deli soups that have the pasta in though, wouldn't the pasta still be free??

did you have any luck with this?? I'd like to know the syn values for the Baxter's deli inspired pots too!!

does anyone know the syns in the other varieties?? bacon and cheese or garlic mushroom?

oh my god I love singapore noodles I am totally trying this on my next green day!!

Ok here are the nutritional values for the bacon ones Typical Values 100g raw as sold contains Energy455kJ (110kcal) Protein20.3g Carbohydrate3.2g Sugars0.1g Fat1.4g And the garlic ones Typical Values100g raw as sold contains Energy540kJ (130kcal) Protein18.0g Carbohydrate2.0g Sugars0.7g...

isn't a bottle normally 750ml though? surely 3 glasses x 8 syns is 24 syns?! confused!

I'm 9st 8 at the moment, the weight I was when I first joined SW over a year ago! I got down into the 8s and then just piled it all back on after I stopped following the plan. Have been trying to get some weight off over the last few weeks and it started well but had a bad week last week and am...

I had salmon with roasted vegetables (courgette, peppers, onion, tomatoes and mushroom) with herbs and fry light. Yummy and have leftovers for lunch! Had fat free natural yoghurt with honey for pudding. Nom!

Hi, does anyone know the syn values for the Tesco Simply Cook chicken breasts? I think the cheese, ham and mushroom ones are 3 syns from what I've seen on here, just want to check if thats per breast or for the whole pack. Also wanted to know the syns for the garlic mushroom and the bacon and...

does anyone know if the cod fillets are the same then? they're on offer in Tesco at the moment :)

I don't understand the theory behind synning a mashed banana either. I mean, I understand that when you juice an orange or something then you're just get the sugar and not anything actually filling, but a banana is just as filling whizzed up in milk as it is eaten on its own! Weird. Oh and if...

ok cheers. sorry for the double post I must have been having problems with the search function on here because I searched a few different things and it kept telling me there were no threads!

I think only on a green day. Your healthy extra options are more limited on extra easy.

is this definitely free?? because I always look at them and they look amazing but it has butter and oil in the sauce so I assumed it had syns... I am confused now :)

Hi, does anyone know the syn values for the new Yoo Light Thing yoghurts?? They're fat free so does that mean they're syn free??

oo this sounds nice with the beans and the sausage, my tesco shop is coming tonight so might try this tomorrow!

I am thinking about making a soup for lunches in work this week but really need some inspiration as I find a lot of the recipes bland and a bit yukky!!! I've also found I prefer my soups chunky rather than blended. I really want to try and keep to superfree foods to try and get a loss this week...

There is a really good recipe for chicken fried rice in one of the SW recipe books - it uses real chicken and ham though so is only good for an EE day. This sounds like a good susbtitute. You could try adding soy sauce and a little oyster sauce rather than L&P to give it a more authentic taste!

Have posted the recipe here http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/198314-italian-chicken-tomato-soup.html#post3348250

Made this soup last week and it was lovely, a refreshing change from veg or lentil soups which is what I normally do! Is free on original or 5 syns on green. Ingredients: 1 onion, finely chopped 1 clove crushed garlic 2 carrots, grated 2 rashers lean rindless bacon, chopped 2 chicken breasts 1...

Oh I did italian chicken and tomato from the 100 original recipes book over the weekend and it is amazing!

I am back on slimming world after a year. I lost 10lb last time and need to lose about twice that this time over!!! Really hoping that I can get some inspiration from these forums as I won't be going to any SW groups - have already found a lot of really helpful info with syn values so thats...
