Just to add to the excellent explaination above, that you shouldn't try and make up/save up for flexible syns on other days- for the rest of the week you should just carry on having 5-15 a day

I find flexi syns impossible to work out if I am going out for a meal. you never know what has been put in the food, how it was cooked etc. How do you do it ? Do you just guess ?
I always try and get a copy of the menu before hand- most are online. I work out what I will have and syn it on the SW site as most food is on there. I never syn for butter on veg as I always insist on no butter or oil when ordering in a restaurant. I always try and save syn allowance for sharing a dessert with hubby or half a bottle of wine (unless using flexi where I may have a full desset and lots of wine )I find flexi syns impossible to work out if I am going out for a meal. you never know what has been put in the food, how it was cooked etc. How do you do it ?
