Help with a special cereal I have from Portugal!

[Em8888]

I know this is probably going to be high in syns but could anyone let me know please?? I wish it could be used as my hex b but don't think there's enough fibre in it.
Cals: 191
Protein: 8.1g
Fat: 3.2g
Fibre: 1.4g

Any help would be great xxx

cereal doesnt have a free food allowance so it will be 1 syn for every 20 calories, making it:

9.5 syns for whatever measure the nutritional information is for.

Thank you, I thought it did if it had enough fibre in. Ah well, maybe a once a week treat for me!! X

I think you are getting confused by healthy extras, fibre isn't taken into account for working out syns. Healthy Extras are carefully chosen by slimming world by a number of factors. Fibre being the main one for Healthy Extra B's. But unfortunately we can only use the ones they provide on the list as a Healthy Extra, there is no calculation to work out our own. However you can contact Slimming World to enquire if a food item you have found can be a Healthy Extra. But I would say looking at the nutritional information you have provided, slimming world will say it can't be, as the fibre is very low.

For syns, all the foods below, have NO free food allowance:

Alcoholic drinks
Biscuits, including cereal bars and savoury crackers
Bread & crispbreads
Breakfast cereals
Cakes & bakery items, e.g. carrot cake
Crisps & snacks
Dressings & dips, e.g. salsa, salad dressing
Fruit - canned, dried and stewed
Pastry products (sweet & savoury), e.g. salmon en croute, apple pie
Pizza
Puddings & desserts
Sandwich/deli fillers
Sandwiches and wraps
Sauces, e.g. jars of tomato-based pasta sauce
Soft drinks, including yogurt drinks fruit/vegetable juice and fruit smoothies
Soups, all varieties
Sweets & chocolates

which means you can work out the syns by using 1 syn for every 20 calories.

Anything else (i.e. foods WITH a free food allowance) must be worked out using the syns calculator.
