I might be wrong but I don't think the Quorn bacon slices are syn free. Someone said a few weeks ago that they were 6.5 syns for the 150g pack, so it might be worth double checking this. Several of the quorn products are free but other have a syn value and some are actually quite high, so always worthing checking before you eat them. Unfortunately I don't have the current password and so I can't do it for you.

HI, Thanks for looking it over for me. I had 2 quorn rashers.30gs worth. Put the kCals etc in online and it came back free. I hope thats right cause they're nice n all but soooo not worth 6.5 syns

Day one almost over and i actually don't feel hungry which is odd for me on a diet!!!!
