Thanks so much for the reduced items at Asda list. I had bought 2 pouches of the HB's curry pouches last week and hadn't had the chance to check the syn values yet, so thanks, saved me a job.

Any idea of the syn value of the WW hot chocolate drinks please?

I saw the HairyBikers Fb post earlier as I walked into Asda which said their sauces were only £1 a pouch at the moment so I couldn't resist on stocking up. They are great for a quick low syn meal.

Chicken tikka masala is 7 syns per pouch.
Chicken korma is 7 syns per pouch.
Lamb saag is 4.5 syns per pouch.

How many calories are these per pack?

I saw these in aldi and nearly bought them! I figured they'd be two syns, are you sure they're free? I didn't think there was any free food allowance in them x

They are roughly all the same cals.

Thanks for that. ... Might treat myself to a couple

I thought same but I did the syn calculator with no free food allowance and it said free on EE xx

That's weird, I wonder why?! Things like sugar free sweets aren't free & surely there's flour or something in them, or what could they be made from. Odd! X

All biscuits are 1 syn per 20 calories it must be a blip there's no way they are free sorry

 

[blades4life]

Don't know but all ingredients are sugar free including the chocolate

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I've run it through based on per serving
I think this is what I entered
137 CALS
18g carb
7g fat
2g protein

And I got 7 syns per serving which is 3 biscuits

It's 42% flour

It says on the website regardless of ingredients certain things are 1 syn per 20 calories no exception and biscuits is one of them

 

[Poppet12]

Yeah I was inclined to think it was a blip with the syns calculator. Slimming World is amazing but free biscuits?! Not likely unfortunately.

 

[blades4life]

I am only going on what it says but they are mainly milk and sugar free ingredients so who knows x plus not gonna eat em like they are veg or fruit as they do after all have calories so at a push id have 2 xx

Yeah I think it would be sensible to go easy with them.
I appreciate the ingredients are sugar free but that doesn't mean syn free, e.g. Werther's sugar free sweets are tiny but still 0.5syns each x

Asda 6pk mullerlights £1.96
Persimmons 3 pk 98p

For anyone interested also the mother and baby event is on

Hi Sheila, yes those are the ones I saw, 1syn isn't bad for a biscuit is it! Thanks x

Well I must be going mad as no matter which way I enter it I get 6.5 syns or 7 syns per portion using this data

http://www.gullon.es/en/our-biscuits/healthy-and-fibre/diet-nature/chip-choco-diet-nature

The first ingrediants is wheat flour definitely not syn free and it contains oil

I don't understand how you are getting them syn free and I would hate to think people would eat them thinking they were free as they are 2 syns each no matter how you look at it

I entered per 100 g then per portion 29 g which is 3 biscuits

Definitely not syn free and the maria biscuits are these



These are different to the choc chip. The products are gluten free and when ive put them manually in the calculator I get 2 syns each
