Red Days: HELP!!!! How much potato can you have a HEX on RED DAY

[Fat Vicky]

Hi folks

Ive read through a through threads on here and some say your Jacket potato can be 228g and others say 28g, obviously there is quite a difference here. Please can someone confirm which this is and if not using as HEX how many syns for a Jacket Potato and what size on a RED DAY

Thank you all AGAIN xx

According to my book (p.40 of the Red/Green book), On a Red day you can have 230g of baking potato (including skin) as a HEB. The 230g referrs to the RAW weight. Or you can have 200g of new potatoes (again with skin) as a HEB. Again, you would need to weigh out the potatoes before you cooked them as 200g is the raw weight. Just remember to have them with skin as it's the skin which contains most of the fibre and therefore allows them to be classified as a HEB. Potatoes without skin would not count as a HEB on Red
