I think I didn't explain myself correctly. But luckily the rest of your post did it for me so thanks for that.
I merely meant that if you've have got to the end of the day and haven't use all or any of your syns up, same for HEA & B that you don't need to be there at 9pm having a bowl of weetabix or something lol.
Same goes for the syns if you've got 10 left for the day you don't have to think oh quick what can I have.
If I'm still wrong on those, then I'm merely going on what my actual consultant has said especially with the HEA/B as she's doesn't always have hers.
I personally rarely have my HEA as that's mostly dairy and I don't eat dairy. However I get my calcium from the food I eat for example spinach, which is higher in calcium anyhow.
Hope I've explained what I meant better
