It depends how thick the slice was cut. If it wasn't enough then you can't really class it as a HE and if it's too much you'd have to add syns to it. If I were you i would invest in a cheap set of kitchen scales. You are allowed 42g of reduced fat cheese, I'm guessing that a 'normal' slice of cheese wouldn't be 42g.

I think with normal cheddar, a 28g portion is the same as a match box. So as long as your slice was no bigger than that you should be ok.

But if you mean the actual pre sliced cheese, 2 slices of that is a Hex A

Yes but low low is reduced fat cheese, so she can have 42g not 28g. 28g wouldn't be enough to class it as a HEA.

If it's the processed slices then yes, 2 is a HEA.

 

[kirstabubble]

Yes, but what I meant was, it's better to be under than go over the weight and then use extra syns.

 

[Mummy_Helen]

I agree with that completely, much better to go under than over.

I would still invest in a set of scales though so that you can make sure that you are getting the daily requirements for a balanced healthy diet. You'll also need it for cereal and other things too.

I got some good ones from Sainsbury's for a tenner... they're flat electronic one.

Salter 1066 LCD Kitchen Scale Black - Kitchen scales - Kitchen - Home and garden - Sainsbury’s

They're out of stock at the mo, but you could probs get them in Argos or Robert Dyas.

and you can grate it and put it into the freezer - so you don't feel tempted - great idea for saving money too when it's on the cheaper side maybe....................
