Syn Value in Protein Shakes and Bars

[kirsty1234]

Hi,
I'm following Slimming World, but really want to continue to have my protein shakes and bars for my weight training. I was wodnering if anybody could work ut the exact syns for each, please?

Bar 35g
cal 140
Prot 9.7
carb 16
of which are sugars - 10.5
fat 4.6


Protein shake per 33g
cal 127
protein 24
car 2.7
of which are sugars 1.9
fat 2

Any help will be really appreciated. I know that most say that we shoudl just count 1 syn per 20 cals, but I was wondering if anybody knows how to calculate it exactly?

Thanks!

I use protein shakes and it does work out at 20cals a syn im afraid :cry:

so the bar will be 7 syns and the protein shake 6.5 syns

I do think protein shakes are one of if not the best thing to use syns on

20 cals-1 syn is the formula that the snackulator uses, so it is how to calculate it exactly. It only changes if something has a free food allowance
