Hello, I've just started at Slimming World and was wondering if I could ask a couple of things as I'm a little worried I've been miscalculating things!
Firstly, if using olive oil as a healthy extra, can I use it to fry with, or does it have to be eaten 'raw'.
Secondly, my favourite soup is Asda's extra special Moroccan spiced vegetable soup, which on the calculator (if I put in lentils as the free food) came up as free on green (though lentil soup in the slimming world book has syns). Can this be true!?
Here are its contents etc:
Ingredients Water, Vegetables (23%) [Carrot, Onion, Potato, Celeriac, Butternut Squash, Parsnip], Tomato (16%) [contains Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid)], Red Split Lentils (6.5%), Chick Peas (6.0%), Dried Apricots (2.0%) [Apricots, Preservative (Sulphur Dioxide)], Rapeseed Oil, Tomato Purée [contains Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid)], Blossom Clear Honey, Cornflour, Lemon Juice, Coriander, Ras El Hanout Spices [Black Pepper, Ginger, Cardamom, Turmeric, Cinnamon, Coriander, Nutmeg, Cayenne, Cumin, Allspice], Garlic Purée, Parsley, Salt
Nutrition Per Unit Unit Size per 100gms/mls Energy KJ 257 Protein 2.9 Available Carbohydrate 9.4 Of Which Sugars 2.7 Fat 1.3 Of which Saturates 0.1 Fibre 1.0 Sodium 0.08
Any answers would be really appreciated - thankyou!
