Mrs JJ, when doing an EE day or a Red day most meats will be free unless they are processed meat, ie. Corned beef, etc. They have to be lean, too. It may be that the syns given online are for the Green day plan.
Do you have an example of a type of meat that we can help you with?
As a general rule on Red days the meats/fish/seafood etc are unlimited and on the Green days the pastas/rices/potatoes/pulses are unlimited. I tend to think of it in terms of protein rich days versus carbs rich days, although strictly speaking thats not entirely true.
On EE days both meats/fish AND pastas/rice/potatoes are unlimited but unlike Red/Green days you only get 1 HXA + 1 HXB per day, not 2 of each with Red/Green days. The 'unlimited' part means until you are satisfied, not until you're too full to move.
(that part caught a few of us out
).
Each day you decide which plan you will follow, Red, Green or EE and then you must stick with it that day. The next day you choose again. This way you can accommodate different meals better. I would choose a green day if I wanted a rice based dish or a red day if going to a BBQ and knew I'd eat lots of meat/fish etc.
Watch the Syns online calculator. Sometimes it will give you the Green day syns so you have to be careful to click Red or EE if that is the day you are planning.
After all that typing you'll probably be thinking you knew all that and that wasn't what you were stuck on.
Anyway, just keep asking your questions and we'll get to the bottom of it to help you. Quickest you get your answers, the quickest that weight will be falling off you.
