Nandos question
Are the following syns correct for Nandos?
Butterfly chicken with skin 3.5 syns; Rice 2.5 syns; Corn on cob Free; Sauces 1 syn per tbsp?
Then a few syns for oil?
Thank youxxxx
Hey Jess, when I went to nandos the other day I had in mind that meal was 6 syns (had previously read someone elses post) and had it with corn on the cob and salad with balsamic vinegar

Day 3 of 100% Plan Week
Breakfast: 2 Weetabix (HEB) with a chopped up banana (SF) this worked well because the banana gave it the sweetness without needing any sugar/sweetener Grapes Strawberries (SF) Cuppa (1/4 HEA) Cereal Milk (1/2 HEA - weetabix needs a fair bit of milk)
Lunch: Homemade leek and potato soup Leeks (SF) Potato (F) Stock (F)
Snacks: Orange (SF) Yoghurt (F)
Dinner: This isn't definite as the boy is making it but I think we are having chicken (F) with roasted veg (SF) and maybe some rice (F)
Syns: 2 ryvita thins with the soup (4 syns), maybe 3 syns for some oil for the veg (3) and I am going for after works drinks so saving 5 syns for 2 vodka/malibu and diet cokes (5)

I think I'm going to make some leek and potato soup tonight for the first time!! What recipe do you use and is it nice? xx

I made mine for the first time yesterday and I really like it! The following made 3 big bowls: 600g potatoes (peeled and chopped into small chunks), 1 large onion chopped well, and 2 small leeks (or 1 large onion) 1.5l stock (I used chicken but you can use veg) salt and pepper.
Put 150ml of stock, 2 bay leaves, and the onion into a large pan. Bring to boil, then simmer for 5 minutes until the onion is soft. Then add the chopped potatoes and leeks and rest of the stock and season. Bring to boil, cover the pan with a lid, and simmer for 25 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and blend the soup either fully to make it creamy (what I did) or leave some chunky
I added more pepper at the end too.The recipe also said to stir in some creme fraiche and simmer for a few minutes. I would have done this but I was using it for work so had to reheat it
Hope you like it

Nooooooo :/ I managed to be good today with syns: 4 for ryvita thins, 5 for 2 vodka and diet cokes, and a kinder bar 3.5 syns and 1 syn of polo. 13.5/15 then realised the sauce we cooked out stirfry (trying to be super healthy) had 9 syns in each! :/ so total syns 22.5/15
But nothing I can do except make up for it over the rest of the week. 7.5 syns over so if I can keep syns to 7.5 one day this week I've done what I can for damage control
Anyone else ever done this?!

I think we all have lovely. It's really frustrating but so easy done! I make our own stir fry sauces now with oyster sauce mostly because then the syns aren't extortionate like some of the packet ones. I'm sure you can have a low syn day and pull it back - don't panic xx

Thanks girls we usually do make it but it was there and looked healthy :/ anyway I'll have to pull it back on Friday. Although I'm officially weighing in tomorrow these 7 days don't end until Sunday and I've been on it perfectly except from that little blip. Feeling fine about it today but was proper gutted last night!
Woohoo it's Thursday - nearly the weekend
