Syns forgetfulness!

[cupotea]

I can never remember the syns in packets of savoury rice! Why is that?! - I don't have them that often but enough that I should remember if they have syns in them or not but I have to look them up every time!

Does anyone else have something that no matter how often you have it, you can never remember the syns (or not).

I always second guess myself and end up looking on the syn thread, on google or in the really old book I found in the cupboard to check the syns! Even though I know that sugar is 1 syn per tsp, I will always check, in case it's magically gone up since last time lol. (This is where I find out it's not 1 syn per tsp!)

 

[hannata]

Yeah I always double double check at the moment but I'm relatively new to this caper

 

[cupotea]

Haha yeah so am I but I've done it before, so I'm not sure what my excuse is!

Mine is laughing cow light. I know they are 1.5 syns.. but i need to check everytime!

I have a little trick to get me around this - when I buy things like savoury rice, or tinned things that are synned, I get my magic marker out and write the number of syns on it, so it's all there neat and ready to do

Why not write a list of frequently used items?

now that's far too organised

I have a list taped to the inside of my food cupboard door. It also includes a quick reference of the weights of foods for healthy extras Only need to write it out once unless you decide on a new food or they change the weights or syn values x

 

[cupotea]

I had savoury rice the other day and once more had to check them - they are all free on green and I always do green days :sigh:

 

[Wannabe-a-minime]

Hmmm just fancy savoury rice for dinner now (slopes off to check kitchen cupboards...)

Because if you don't want all 5 that is an HEA portion, syn the odd one or two and use the HEA for something else

 

[Debridger]

I have sticky labels on new stuff, or things in the freezer, my treat box has the syns stuck inside the lid.
At WI my C always knows that anything with a label on is my contribution to the SOTW basket

I totally agree.
I often have another HEB which I syn. I prefer to do that than have junk food for my syns.
