Just had a full English brekkie, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, fried eggs, tomatoes and beans..... Brother said hope I enjoy my heart attack on a plate... Ha only 2 syns for the whole plate. Best diet ever!
I love SW too, tonight we are having fish, chips and m peas
Peas aren't superfree so you'll need to add 1/3 to this meal for it to be free on EE!

Technically no but lets face it some meals just don't lend themselves to a side salad and fish chips and mushy peas is one of them.
However according to the faqs on the slimming world website the third super free isnt actually mandatory, it's a recommendation. As long as you eat most of your meals with a third super free then the odd meal won't make much of a difference.
I count fruit towards my superfree if I'm eating it right before or after my meal!
i LOVE slimming world too I went through a phase of having what you said above for my dinner for like a month lmao! great having such a bad feeling meal when its not
slimmersally said:The fruit counts as it is part of the meal. The only scenario it won't count is when you eat the fish, chips and mushy peas first and it fills you up, and then you eat the fruit on top just because you want your 1/3 super free. Only eat when you are hungry and stop when you start to feel full/satisfied. So eat less of the fish, chips and mushy peas to make sure you leave room for the super free fruit. Alternatively you could eat the fruit first and stop eating your main when you start to feel satisfied - that way round you ensure that you won't over eat and will have the 1/3 super free.
I'm pretty sure that if you are following Extra Easy then the 1/3 super free is mandatory, not just a recommendation.
Finally, I think fish, chips and mushy peas does lend itself well to a side salad, but that might be because I'm Australian!
Enjoy your meals - they sound lovely!
slimmersally said:I read the FAQ and was going to paste it here but thought I'd get in trouble for that! The actual question is posed: Is a third of a plate of Superfree Food mandatory on the Extra Easy plan? and the answer is no but it is encouraged . . . So you are right Claire, but I don't think their question and answer are that clear. I can see why you have interpreted it the way you have (and like I said you are right), but the way I interpret their answer is that the actual plate doesn't have to be a third superfree which is what we were talking about at the start of the discussion. The one third doesn't have to be on the plate - you can eat it however you like, i.e. fruit whilst cooking your meal, or fruit following the main meal.
Whichever way it is meant, eating one third superfree works for me on Extra Easy
