calories vs syns confusion ?????

[To-she]

ok can someone please clarify something for me your only suppose to have 2,500 kcals a day but on slimming world you can eat much food as you want and not count a single calorie how is this. like take yesterday for example i had no syns until my daughter went to bed then I had 10syns but you would wanna see the amount of food i ate for my meals then snacks in between but all was free or superfree. surly I ate over 2,500 kcals

if you're following sw properly (eating until satisfied from free foods, weighing HE's, measuring and counting syns) then you wont be eating loads of calories. SW base the plan on energy density and the free/speed/protein foods are all ones that make you feel fullest with the least calories. If you dont follow the rule about eating 1/3 speed foods or eating only until full then you wont lose. SW have done all the working out for us
