Can anyone recommend something from the chinese that isn't black bean? I used to have some syn values written down but there's no point in referring to them anymore. I hate black bean! Also can't eat noodles. TIA for any suggestions!

They've gone up the portion increased by 100-150g but the syns have over trippled.

I have a feeling part of decision is to make take aways a bad comparison to the ready meals. The portion sizes have been brought inline with ready meals.
I do wonder

That's a brilliant point I hadn't thought of that.
Because how can they suddenly decide all the takeaways have become so much more unhealthy?
Alternative could be to do with the new Speed/Protein thing- maybe they think they've got less speed and/or protein & therefore upped the syns..

I can't understand how Beef with Bamboo Shoots and Water Chestnuts is now 19 syns. Everything in the dish is free bar the oil? 
It used to be 8 syns. How is it so much more than beef with mushrooms? I don't like questioning the plan but some of the changes are making no sense to me!!

To make ppl think that's not worth it I'll by a sw ready meal instead.
And I think there are elements of highlighting that they are unhealthy choices. As far as I know they analyse certain portions so it all depends when samples they tested, if the meat had fat on it or if they used a lot of oil in them samples.
