Extra Easy Syns to Pro Points ratio

[Stargirl94]

Hi All,

Does anybody happen to know what the ratio is between Slimming World Syns and Weight Watchers Pro Points?

Thanks very much,

SG

There would be no link whatsoever as they are from two completely different plans.

Yep, agreed with whats already said, there is no link whatsoever to syns/pro points. X

Not sure why you would need to convert between the two, but as one syn is said to equal 20 calories, and a WW pro point is roughly 40 calories I would say that a pro point is equal to two syns, but obviously only on items which you need to syn.

Yeah no way to convert, different plans, different things entirely...and of course some things that would be "free" on SW aren't on WW and vice versa.

The 1syn=20 cals will only work if there is no free food allowance so it is impossible to work out things like sausages etc.
There is no way to convert syns to points and vice versa so if you choose to change plan you need to go to a group to get the info from a consultant. X

Hey Diane! (Hope that right lol) you have a good memory! How are you hun? X

 

[l0v3child]

Yes that's right Lol. Im ok thanks, back from a break and glad to see lovely familiar faces SW all got abit much, the weighing in mainly, not the plan! But because I had a mini breakdown over it I let old habits return..put on about 5/7lbs, could have been worse! So im not going back to group, im going it alone and weighing at my nanas every Monday (lol) she has some decent digi scales. I feel Hows you? x

I know what that's like hun I did the same practically! Been up and down for a bit but raised my target a little now so more achievable. Do you have a diary? I'll drop by if so, mine is in my signature if you fancy popping in! Xx

Propoints are calculated using the fibre and fat content not kcals so I wouldnt think 40 would be a good rule of thumb. There are way too many other factors to consider

Does seem to work pretty often with snack foods, those that are say 2 PP' s are often 4 syns but obviously doesn't work for everything as the plans differ

The 40 kcal per PP is a very handy rule of thumb, it's right a lot of the time.
