Newbie with a few questions!

[JaneyM]

Hello all, I'm new to the forum and new to SW (just started on Monday).

I have joined the online program as living in Switzerland, we have many different brands here and I need to check the syn values etc. manually.

I have a couple of questions. Can you use a wholemeal wrap (58g) as a healthy extra b (I am guessing this is OK as it says 57g of any wholemeal bread.

What is the general view on saving syns for a special meal out?

I look forward to chatting to you all.

hi jane welcome to minimins i don't think u can have a wrap as a h/e (im sure someone more knowledgeable will soon tell u) i know a co-op w/m pitta bread counts as one, i usually have about 15 syns a day but if i was going out i would save some for the meal. sorry i'm not much help but didn't want to read and run. good luck

Sorry but you would need to syn the wrap as there is not enough fibre to take it as a HEB

And yes you are able to use your syns weekly so you can use more syns for your night out and fewer on other days - as long as you are within your 105 syns

Hi Val and Circes
Oh dear! I guess I'll put it down to teething troubles. Luckily, I haven't used any syns today so can add in the huge 10 from the wrap.
It's good to know you can save syns. It makes this diet so flexible. I was previously doing Atkins and it is just impossible really (without having to explain to everyone about the diet every time you eat out - YAWN!).
Thanks again x
