Red Days Helathy Extras

[Katerpillar]

If I have had 2 EL fat Laughing Cows as part of my HexA today can I top it up with say 21g of extra low fat cheddar instead of the rest of the Laughing Cows??

Thanks x

If it's just a one off then I say go for it - it's not going to make any difference I dont think. Sometimes if I have one slice of bread then I make it up with one alpen light bar. I think you have to be realistic. It's a long term eating plan so what you do today is not going to really matter in a few months.

I think quite a lot of people do this....I think craftylucyloo is right, if it works for you then do it!

I split healthy extras all the time

i split them too... sometimes have half milk, half cheese and do it with the Bs as well. surely all adds up the same as long as u r strict with measures? x

My consultant was talking about this last night at class and she said its fine to split the healthy extras as a lot of people have been asking so they discussed it at their head office meeting.​

Yep, if you look at the FAQs on the SW website it says you can split your HEs as long as the HE is a single food item. So you can split your milk and cheese for example but not your porridge because that is supposed to be porridge + scan bran.

Marvellous! Thank you all - makes life so much easier if I can split them! I like to have Laughing Cows on my toast in a morning but don't particulalry like them on anything else so would much rather have say 2 Laughing Cows and 1 Lighy Babybel!
