    I know what your saying.. But the times I've had my 105 syns I've noticed a significant difference to the weeks where I've had less than 50. Its different for everyone I guess.. Maybe it's a psychological thing. Keeps me more focused with everything else? Perhaps..

    Chicken cacciatore

    You only have to syn the Philly which is 1.5 for 28g. I dunno how many grams in 3 tbsp but it serves 4ish.. I'd say you could syn at most 1.5 per portion. And because it's so tomatoey your easily getting your 1/3 superfoods.. It's so tasty!!
