warburtons do some sandwich thins for 100 cals which are quite nice, not overly big but they make a decent sandwich if you fill them with plenty of filling, tuna is fairly low in cals so you could make a decent size tuna sandwich or ham salad sandwich for 200 cals :)

Hiya, You will need the info from the packaging cals/protein/carbs/fat etc and then input that info on to the sw website calculator, you need to choose which plan your on, and any free food which is contained like meat/fish/veg etc and it will tell you how many syns is in it :)

Hi, 1/3rd of every meal needs to be superfree food thats how extra easy works by filling up on superfree food so you eat less of the other food, jacket potato and beans doesnt contain any superfree you need to have salad or maybe a big pile of mushrooms or whatever superfree you fancy as 1/3rd...

we are having lasagne :) saving my hex's up for later so i can have plenty of cheese in my cheese sauce :D i hate packet sauce so always make my own.

Ive had a salad which included mixed lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, orange peppers, sweetcorn, quorn pieces and home-made soft cheese, it was lovely but im still hungry so off to raid the fridge for some fruit and yogurt!

This is really nice :D I used a small tub of ff greek style yogurt from asda, mixed in some dried thyme and parsley, black pepper and half clove of garlic (which was a bit too much lol) put it the muslin lined sieve and mine turned out like a soft cheese, not crumbly i dunno if it didnt dry out...

i use ff natural fromage frais a lot, i prefer it as its a bit thicker than natural yogurt, i like to put a big spoonful on my plate with chilli, or if im having some spicy coated veg it helps cool my mouth down :)

why dont you pack up a fruit salad? pineapple fingers, orange segments, strawberries etc (you could even coat some in choc if you have some syns a little melted choc goes a long way) i think those mikado sticks are not too high in syns, maybe have a look at those to have a nibble on?

I decided to give into the urge last week (id been really ill all week and not really eaten anything for 3-4 days) but i stupidly got a stuffed crust 12" veggie delight lol i regretted it so much after though, it was greasy, fattening, and i felt really ill after id eaten it, i had bad belly...

we are having toad in the hole, synning the flour/quorn sausages in mine but the small amount of flour/batter actually makes a good size yorkshire pudding :D with mash potatoes, carrots and maybe brocolli.

My bf is supportive, the first week he was like hmm are you sure you can eat that? and i explained the concept of slimming world to him which he prob didnt understand at first, i kept going on about healthy extra's to him and he would have a blank look on his face! but i love cooking and when we...

When I first started i was like im going to stick to 10, i was having 6-7 a day, a few weeks in i thought i really want some choc so i had the full 15 and then again all that week i had closer to 15 and actually had a better loss, so ive stuck to having 15 if i want them, yesterday i had 13. i...

philadelphia chicken/quorn - chicken/garlic/onions/mushrooms and red pepper cooked in frylite - add some stock - then add philadelphia and some dried parsley, serve with pasta or rice its gorgeous and sooo quick to make! I dont have chicken in mine though im veggie so having quorn, i do same...

are the spicy re-fried beans free? those are the ones i had not the normal ones as they are bland and taste horrid! if it was original you had try the spicy ones, they are not really hot but give a nice flavour :) only a few places seem to sell the spicy ones and they come in the smaller size...

home-made spicy butternut squash and carrot soup (although really need less 'spice' next time it blew my head off lol) had that with slices of bread heB spread with cottage cheese. I didnt know re-fried beans were free :o although pre-sw i ate mine with mountains of tortilla chips and sour...

hey it can be hard at first to try and resist the things you crave like choc etc, i found it difficult as i was eating crisps and choc bars for breakfast before sw, are you using enough syns? you need at least 5 a day, no more than 15. I used to eat 3-4 bags of crisp a day before sw, if your...

aww sorry to hear you have been ill too :( hope your feeling better soon :)

oh good advice thanks, maybe i should have an emergency box in my freezer with a small tub of ice-cream, some soup etc so should illness strike im prepared! i usually do have soup in the freezer but id run out, my fella tends to take some for his lunch to work with him so when i think i have...

I had a veggie stew inspired by the speed soup i packed it full of carrots, onions, tinned tomatoes, fresh spinach, green lentils, red split lentils, baked beans and mixed beans chucked in some thyme and sage and 2 stock cubes was sooooo good! and now having some strawberries topped with fat...

I had a warm salad, lettuce/cucumber sprayed with fry light salad ceasar dressing, cubed up 2 mini babybel light from my hexa, and topped it off with 2/3 packet of bachelors macaroni cheese made up with mainly water and a dash of milk from my hexa (having 2 hexa as im on green day) which i added...

I had quorn chilli, with boiled rice and topped with a dippy thing I made earlier (which substituted very well for my usual sour cream!) very versatile its quark mixed with spring onions, 1 tiny tub of extra light philly (heb), chives, garlic, black pepper and a little bit of milk from my heA...

Thanks so much for the quick replies, I think I am supposed to have 2 hex b's but im struggling to fit it in lol i could have some wholemeal bread soaked in egg and fried in frylite maybe to get it in, it just feels naughty as i love eggy bread n often ate it when not dieting. might have that if...
