syn free crisps

[postie]

Hi all i am so new at this and its making my head hurt!
I am doing sw online and am completely baffled!!!!!

I made syn free crisps last night and had them for a supper with houmous light. I syned the houmous but thought the crisps were free. I have just read somewhere that if they are a snack they have to be syned? Is this right and if so how do i find out the syn value.

Hi! There's mixed opinions on synnin these. Technically altho potatoes r free on Green n Extra Easy they rn't free if yer eatin them as a snack as it's 2 easy 2 "over eat" so shud b synned like potatoes on a Red day, which I think works out at 1.5 syns for 2oz or 57grams (someone please correct me if I'v got this wrong as I don't ave my book wif me - sorry!). It depends on how they effect people's weight loss wether they syn them or not. I tend not 2 syn them as I don't ave them very often so they aven't impacted my losses. To be honest I tend 2 just ave low syn "real" crisps instead as makin these can b a bit hit n miss. Hope this helps and good luck on yer SW journey!
