If you're doing EE then the only thing you need to syn is the cheese - so you'll need to weigh it to work out the syns. 28g (1oz) of normal cheddar is a HEB or 6 syns.

Thanks thats a great help. i am on EE forgot to say lol. ok so thats my HEB today

the cheese will be your HEa not your HEb.

Do you have all the SW blurb which you get from the meeting?

I suggest sitting down and having a good read through so you are familiar with all the free foods and the healthy extras. The healthy extra's can be so much more than just bread or milk/cheese. There is a wide variety of options.

Of course anything that is not a free food needs to be synned and you have a maximum of 15 a day.

Yes they are also free

Do you go to meetings?

If so you should have access to the online information through your pin number, which will allow you to search certain branded foods to see if they are free, or if not work out the syns using the syns calculator.

yes have the book and go to meetings, i do look at my book and im starting to learn bout what syns r in what but its hard to remember, i think i will write it down and stick it on my frigde, but ive also just had the implant in my arm fitted a couple weeks ago, ive done well today and have 10 syns left but for some reason i feel starving and im starting to wonder whether this implant is increasing my hunger as it can often do.
