So I'll hate it if it turns out that I'm the bearer of bad news, but I need some advice on a whipped cream that everyone I know uses...please please please put me out of my misery!
It's Creamfield's Light Real Dairy Cream (whipped cream spray can) from Tesco. I use it all the time as I can't stand sourness or tartness in my fruit.
My C has said the whole 250g can Syns at 6.5 Syns so assuming you'd get loads from it, a small squirt would be 1/2 Syn.
Here's my problem: The other day my eye did some dangerous wandering while squirting. First I see that the two main ing's are (not LF) cream and sugar. Then I'm thinking how can this be so low in syns. Then I see the small print and my life flashes before my eyes:
>>"Guideline 55ml of whipped cream is equivalent to approximately 11.5g." Also the nutritional info is done in mls but the can mischievously is measured in grams.<<
So if I syn 250mls the whole can is 6.5 so about 19g = 1/2 Syn.
But if you convert the 250g to mls based on the 11.5 then there's 1196mls in the can which then syns at 75 Syns! So you'd only get 1.5g for 1/2syn which is impossible to even spray out of the can.
Can anyone help please?
Here's what it says on the back:
Can is 250 grams.
Guideline daily amounts 55ml of whipped cream is equivalent to 11.5 grams.
100ml contains: 50kcals, 0.6prot, 2.3carbs, 4.3grams of fat.
