Syn calculation!

[laurasmurf]

Hi everyone,

I've just joined the forum after starting slimming world again this week. I had a baby six weeks ago and now trying to lose all the weight I put on! I did slimming world last year and lost 1.5 stone so know it works for me.

Anyway, i think I have cracked the calculation used to work out syn values. I don't know how to work out the syn values differently for red and green but know how to calculate worst case scenario syn values such as mars bars and crisps which would be the same syn value for red or green!

It's pretty well known that for snack foods you can use 1 syn for every 20 calories as a rough guideline but I wouldn't rely on it because it doesn't work for foods with a free food allowance.
