TGI Fridays - Starter and a Main???

[kneehigh85]

Hey all,

I am after some advice as I am likely going to be eating at TGI Fridays on Thursday. Drink not a problem as I'll be driving and diet coke is refillable. Food however is a bit of a problem. They do the 2 course for £9.99 option and I have no idea what to choose or how to syn for it! Can anyone offer me any advice on this?

Thanks in advance

Take whatever you think the syn value is and multiply it by about 10. Seriously, I work there..

Sesame chicken strips appetiser is 1000+ calories alone.

Thanks dude, might just go to Nandos and stick with my 8.5 syn meal!

Oh please tell me this is not true? I have been on plan for so long and took my daughter there on Friday! Had these as a treat (love them) GUTTED!!!

There is a thing on the SW site about it today as a coincidence. Doesn't mention them specifically though.

They are crazy high calorie unfortunately.

It was my WI today and lost 3 so I will be real good this week now x

Will be heading for a friends birthday in a week or two and just wanted to check if there is anything within syns? Or even if it's slightly over what is the lowest syn meal?

SW says get stuff from the "Fresh from the grill" section! Things such as steaks, spicy rice and seasoned vegetables are always a better option also, Spicy Diablo Pasta is meant to be alright, but ask for cheese on the side!


Hope you enjoy your meal! x

Oh my god... Just ran the nutritional info through the syn calculator as these are my favourite... 48 syns!!! Aaaaaaaahh!

 

[kneehigh85]

Wow 48 syns!!!! That is bonkers. I don't think I will be going here again for a very long time!!

I literally cannot comprehend how such a small portion of food has so many calories! Insane!

I know, crazy huh? They don't even seem that bad do they, I mean it's not like they are laden with cheese or anything!

Last time I went to a TGI's I have the chicken salad - it was basically a bowl of lettuce with chicken, croutons and tomatoes. I forgot to ask for no sauce tho....

 

[Jenna88]

Think I'm just going to have to suck up that it's going to be about a 1000 syns lol! Think I'll probably have 2 starters as a main, potato skins and sesame jack chicken. Eeeek!

Chicken without skin is free as is salad, spicy rice is only 2.5 syns I've read and chips are like 11 I think! If I was going I'd get half a chicken, spicy rice and salad for 2.5 syns and sneak in some of my home made 'perinaise' made with extra light mayo and peri peri spice - 0.5 syns a tablespoon : )
