Syns - how many each week?

[kirsty_baird_26]

How many do you use on average each week?
This is my first week back and im just around 65 just now with 2 days to go but i tend to keep most and use them at weekends is this ok? Should i be trying to have more closer to the 105?

Its different for everyone. The way I see it is they say 5-15 so I have no qualms with using all 15 a day (105 a week) but as long as you are having at least 5 a day you should be fine. I def would not have less than that as this can actually affect your losses and slow them down.

Thanks i wasn't sure how much i could go up to etc!!
Also do you need to have at least 5 a day or can i save them and use them for weekends?

 

[ScarlettStar86]

You can save them all but sw recommend using a few per day to save feeling deprived of anything.
What I do is use what I need day to day usually around 7-10 then on a Friday when I finish work (as I reset the count on monday) I work out what I've got left from 105 and can use that over the weekend if I need to go higher.

If i need some for dinners etc i tend to use them but most days my dinners and main meals are syn free so that's good i can save them and use them! I like to keep them for weekend for a treat as i feel im more motivated to be good if i know i can get a proper treat at weekend

Thanks
