slimming world class a dash of milk in a coffee 1 syn, so are you sure you only had 1 syn worth on your cereal?
I use around 200ml on my weetabix thats all haha!

Erm for an italian look in the back of your book and theres some syn values in it. spag bog is ony 7.5 or 8.5!

With EE you need to have a third of each meal made up of superfree foods (most fruit and veg). This is what naturally restricts the amount of calories you're consuming and is fundamental to EE working.

Good luck!

Thank you for your replies. To be honest i havent been shopping yet, so i will make sure that is friday nights task.
I think i am just about getting my head around things.
regarding the milk in my breakfast, that to be honest was a guess lol. i used 100ml of milk (I dont really like the stuff)
I will make sure I go food shopping tomorrow to get loads of fruit and veg to ensure EE works for me!

Thank You! x

Yup - not enough superfree i think. It really is the key on extra easy.

At the italian restaurant just try & avoid creamy sauces. In fact, i tend to avoid pasta & pizza when out now & have either fish or steak as both are lean & the sauces aren't too synful. I also have salad instead of veg.

Last time I went out for italian i had sardines to start, sea bass with salad for main. Tirimastu (sp?) for desert. Aside from some oil the 1st 2 courses were pretty much free. Less aaid about desert the better though
