[missclare85]

Im having a roast and want some potatoes, im going to have them roast using fry light!

How many syns are they?
Can i use it as a healthy extra?
How much can i have?

Thanks x

If you use new potatoes you can have them as a HExB. Not sure on weight though, not got my books with me.

 

[missclare85]

has it got to be new potatoes cant it be normal ones?

 

[Gemmy_Lou]

It could be normal but you would have to keep the skin on as that is the only way to count potato as a HEB on a red day.

Can be normal ones, if you are doing extra easy or green they are free,i have them all the time they are yum!!

 

[missclare85]

damn damn damn!!! I didnt kno it had to be with the skins on an my mums forgot how many (in weight) shes put on for me!
Right it WAS having a RED day but now ive changed to an extra easy! Lucky i hadnt had any healthy extras yet.

on a green day, potatoes are free - only have to syn the fry light.

on a red day you can have 198g new potatoes with skin as a HEb, then syn the frylight.

Just as syns: 28g potatoes for 1.0 syn, + syn the frylight too

(I think)

Well now you are having a EE day it doesn't matter!! Enjoy your roasties!

 

[Gemmy_Lou]

Frylight doesn't have any syns... so no need to worry about that!

 

[missclare85]

frylight in syns?????
O dear!!!

 

[missclare85]

PHEW!!!! haha!!!
Sorry another question:
on EE would i have the potatoes as a Healthy extra or free???

Sorry its only my 3rd day on the plan!!!!!!

 

[metrognome]

they will be free, no need to syn the frylight either

 

[Winny]

Potatos would be free on EE, as will your meat. Just 1/3rd fill your plate will veg and your there.
I'm having the same..yum!

 

[missclare85]
