don't quote me on this but im sure i have seen somewhere.. either on here or the FB group that the burgers are free. Im not 100% but im sure someone will come along soon enough and check as i cant get access to the sw calculator.

I think they are 7% fat, so they aren't free as they would need to be 5% or less, buthey aren't as bad as lean mince, which is usually 10% fat - so they are somewhere in between - just to confuse things nicely. Lean mince is 0.5 syns per 28g. You are unlikey to have ate more than 250grams which would be less than 5 syns if it was lean mince.

I've put the nutrition through the syns calculator and the burgers come out free - don't know about meatballs though. What a result!!

Hi hun - how did you figure out the portion size. They would only be free if the nutritional info was based on 100gram as each portion has 4 grams fat. That could mean its 4% fat or 25% fat depending on the portion size. The calculator will assume its 100 gram portion unless you tell it otherwise.
Sorry

Admittedly, I guessed

This link to their site does say that each burger is 5% though which still makes it free - I just really want a burger!!!

LOL!v If it says 5% on the packaging then it is free!
You know you can make your own though for much cheaper though!!!

But I cook everything from scratch anyway - sometime it tastes nicer if you didn't make it yourself!
