Syn free crisps

[northernmummy]

So had a go at Syn free crisps. Really nice, stopped a craving happy days

Mentioned it on another board n was told they weren't Syn free and despite asking how I never got an answer.

So how is a potato and fry light not Syn free? And if that's the case surely the chips aren't Syn free either?!

After a week where I thought I'd got my head round it I'm now baffled!

Slimming World call it food abuse.

If you ate a jacket potato you'd have one potato but if you made that potato into crisps then you might eat that potato plus even more and still not be satisfied.

I hope that helps a bit. If you do a search there are plenty of other threads on here that will explain it better.

Ah thanks. It makes sense. But I guess at the end of the day like anything it's about control. 1 small potato n being satisfied is a lot different to 2-3 big ones n still scoffing! Thanks though

So how much would you syn them at then? They take sooooo long to make I only ever make a tray full/one potato.

Could you give me the recipe please, love crisps x

You syn them as if you'd had them on a red day.

 

[whoami1]

What would that make them?...and does that mean we do sin SW chips if not ate as part of a meal?

 

[Jaq]

100g of potato without skin is 4 syns on a red day.

Ah well I only used a small potato never 100g :-o

But a potato. Use a mandolin or slice really really thin

Spray microwave plate with a bit of fry light. Put the slices on the plate but don't overlap them. Ping for 4-5 minutes on full power. Mine were starting to burn at 5 mins
