Are all Healthy Extra 6 syns?

[Bimbie Finn]

Do I count a 230g Baking Potato including Skin as 6 syns as I have used up my healthy extras for today and does it count for the other healthy extras

Thanks

Potato is one of your free foods

Sorry if I'm following the original plan or green plans can I class all the healthy extras as 6 syns if I've had my healthy extras for the day

Not all healthy extras are 6 syns.

For 100g with skin on when cooked it is 7 syns

without skin it is 4 syns per 100g

Oooh thank you for reply.

Where there is no free food value, it's 1 syn for every 20 calories.

I decided to have an Alpen Light bar today as my elevensies with a cup of tea. I don't usually eat them, but I had a couple in my desk drawer from when I'd bought them as a HEXB alternative.

I know that two bars make an HEXB because I see people writing it in their food diaries all the time - so I thought one would have been 3 syns. Not bad for a nice biscuit, I thought. Then I looked it up online and it was only 2.5 syns for a single bar. So SW obviously round things up to make the 6 syns that are roughly equivilent to a HEX. Not a massive difference, but it just reminded me that I need to keep checking values and not assuming!

Alpen Light bars are either

1 x bar which is your HeX-B AND classed as a speed food

or

2 x bar which is you HeX-B

I doubt that SW would round the syns up from 2.5 to 6. HeX-B's are about the fibre content not the syn value as such.

You're right Theria I always thought one Alpen light was 3 syns but checked and some are 2.5 and some are 3, not a lot of difference like you say but always worth checking.
