Hi all, I haven't done a food diary since I started sw and luckily I haven't needed to do one since - I'm keeping pretty much on track. But I'm gonna start one from tomorrow. I do green days as I'm a veggie and tend to make the same stuff for dinner on rotation (!) superspeed soup for lunches but I dont really keep a running tally of my syns so this will be quite useful for me. Any advice or tips welcome :)

Well then so have i!!! I've never synned any passsta..thought it was all free?

Same here... The asda make and some others have olive oil in them so need to be synned... I dont think it's much though - I think half syn for a standard portion. As my portions are not exactly standard it may make all the difference! Lol My tescos one and plain napolina is free though...
