Hi -
Another quick question - I'm a member online and therefore using the food diary online. I've noticed a couple of times that I can sort of juggle between the plans to eat "more" or have less syns. So for example today I started on EE - had scrambled egg, half a snap pot of reduced sugar beans and one wholemeal toast. THen had a soup for lunch with a red onion quorn burger - both free on all plans. I also had some garlic dressing (1syn) and a posh yogurt (3.5syns).
Then tonight I had chicken fajitas (minus the tortilla) which was all free on original and EE except that I had 42g reduced fat cheddar on top.
I've also had three fruit items!
Now - here's what I'm confused about! On EE I'm only allowed one HEX A and B so I used those on milk in my tea all day and the bread for brekkie. So now on EE I would not have to syn the beans but would then have to syn the cheese (7syns) taking me to 11.5.
However if I switch to Original, I can use the cheese as a 2nd HEX and just syn the beans which would only be 2 syns and therefore take me to only 5.5syns and leave me some left for a skinny cow ice lolly!!!
Sorry this is long-winded but is it ok to do that?? Even though it seems to mean I am eating more?
I find this part a little confusing!
