Just a quick question about uaing jars and packets such as chilli con carne mix or the bake in a bag ones or pasta sauce in a jar for eg
I have chilli for tea tonight made with a tesco chilli mix, it says 34 cals per 1/4 pack, so not much. Do I use the 1 syn=20 cal for this an the others or does it not apply here? I've read something about if something has a free food in it it can't be calculated like that?
I've had a quick look on sw online but it's not recognised.

Can anyone help?
 
Packets and jars of sauce don't have a free food allowance so yes you would work it out as 1syn for every 20cals.
Not much maybe for the spice mix but I know I would rather make it myself and its much tastier! X
 
Im sure i read that the Dry packet spice mixes are free if there's no sugar or oil in the ingredients list? I don't use them anymore but when I was using up the old stuff in my dry cupboard that's the rule I used?
