Hi, sorry if this is the wrong forum but I couldn't decide which was the most appropriate one for this thread...
I have just swapped to SW from WW because the propoints just wasn't working for me but I'm having a heck of a time trying to work out how to use it!
For example, there is a soup that I like to have for lunch most days, a beef and vegetable but it says it is 13 1/2 sins, for a soup! But it's ingredients are all things that are listed as free foods.
Another example, Birds Eye rice and veg steam bag is 3 1/2 sins and yet everything in it is listed as free, it's just rice and veg. That would mean that if I cooked them myself seperately I could eat as much of the ingredients as I want but if I buy the ready to microwave version I can only eat a fraction of the same ingredients
How am I expected to workout what the Syn values of my own recipes are if they are more mixed together than they are seperately?
And what gives about Extra easy, Original and Green? Can I really pick and choose which diet I want to follow that day?
Sorry if these are dumb questions but I just can't get my head around this diet.
