I don't know the recipe for the chicken satay, so as a reminder, on SE you must take the higher syn value.
eg. Sausages that are 1/2 syn on EE and Red, yet 9 on Green would mean counting 9 syns for the sausage on SE.
Being controversial - I don't think that you would need to syn the dairylea triange. It's part of your hexa choice - although I would try and have more calcium from somewhere. You've not used many syns - you could have had a milky hot chocolate - used a few more syns and also increased your calcium.

the only syns in the chicken satay is the 2 tbsp of reduced fat peanut butter so 4 syns per tbsp
so does that mean i count 4 or 8 as there are two in it? i just divided it as its for 4 people?
Also i may have a hot chocolate later thats a good idea
thanks for the feedback

Serves: 4
Syns per serving:
3 Syns on Original, Extra Easy and Green*
*Add 6 Syns if not using chicken as a Healthy Extra on Green
Ingredients.
For the satay chicken:
454g diced chicken breast
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp sweetener
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp ground c u m in
Fry Light
Satay/kebab skewers
For the sauce:
3 tbsp reduced fat peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
120ml water
½ garlic clove, crushed
1 tbsp sweetener
1 tbsp dark soy sauce

Method.
1. Place the diced chicken into a dish or bowl. Mix all the marinade ingredients together and pour over the chicken. Cover and marinade in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
2. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas 4. Drain the chicken, then skewer the chunks onto the kebab sticks (usually 3-4 pieces per stick)
3. Place on a baking tray, spray with Fry Light and cook for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked.

I was having the same problem few weeks ago, but decided to go back to basics 100% and (touch wood) seems to be working.
Re an earlier post about the HA/HB Dairylea thing, I was told that in order for the 'science bit' of SW to work you need to have the exact ammount of the stated HA/HB, like with some cereals you used to have to have a scan bran along side. Who knows!?? I guess whatever works for you is best!
Good luck! xx
