Pasta weight

[mia_angel]

Im having some brown pasta tonight on a red day, it says 28g dry weight 5 syns, So i eat all of the cooked weight after is that right?

As long as you weigh out the pasta before you cook it as a Healthy extra b choice then this is fine, you dont have to syn it. xxx

 

[mia_angel]

I have to today hun as i have used up my healthy extras

 

[SlimmingKitchen]

Oh I get it now, sorry misread it lol!
Yes if it says the syns are for dried weight then go for it!
Is it much?? I dont like to do red days when I want pasta lol! xxx

 

[mia_angel]

Its my firs time adding some pasta on a red day! Its probably going to be a pathetic small amount hahaha

Im used to having a mountain full plate of pasta lol which is why i dont trust myself on green days

 

[SlimmingKitchen]

Hehe im sure you will be fine hun
I usually do EE if I want a good portion of pasta and bolognese

Its a 1/4 of a normal portion, so its going to fill about 1/4 of your plate if that gives you an idea.

OMG this is 28g of wholewheat pasta, im going to cry lol :cry: :cry: :cry:

Can you not swap to an EE day - and syn the extra HEB or HEA you have had? might make you feel less 'cheated' on the plan??

I am adding salmon and salad to it, but i just didnt expect it to be so little! Will have to think better for next time it will be on a green day so i can have a bit more

 

[prawnchopSuey]

I find it a paltry amount and try to stay clear of pasta on red days!! It just doesn't cut the mustard for my 'healthy' appetite

 

[mia_angel]

Tell me about it! Im used to filling my whole plate with pasta

Dinner will be naff tonight lol :wave_cry:

I remember when I used to do WW years ago and I was a student so saved all my points for alcohol...I'd have a two point portion of pasta with lots of zero point veg. They were hard times. It was less than THAT!

God, I love SW! xx

 

[MrsBabyCakes]

I used to use a HEB and syn a portion on a red day but now I follow EE all the time so its mute lol
