I use quite a lot of tabasco and extra hot chili sauce.. i don't usualy syn tabasco sauce..should I ?

Tabasco and stock syn free, Chilli Sauce depends on brand

My advice would be not to guess syn values - check everything before you eat it to avoid any mistakes.

Jan/12 Green Day:

:break_diet:Binge::break_diet:
A fry light egg, spinach, 5 slices of white bread!!! (15syns) with 2 tbsp crunchy peanut butter (9syns) !!!!


D: fruits and vegs only, to try and make it up plus an hour Davina DVD !! Exercised with Davina but ended up scoffing home made couscous with a tbsp of sultana's !!! Felt really sick afterwards!! UGH

I think the reason I ate like that was because I didn't prepare or plan a propre meal for lunch and I didn't even know if today will be a green, red or EE day.. which is silly because i'm eating at home today and thus have more control.
Even a tin of baked beans would've made my lunch of SW chips more fulfiling and substantial.. especially on a subconscious level, also boredom and being lazy and ill. Also, I've had my shopping delivered today with the correct type and size of bread to be a HexB, so felt like I needed to finish the last slices of white bread that was mistakenly bought to be a Hexb but ended up being synned.

Syns: 34 !!!!!!!!! (more like 38syns after sultana's and couscous !!)
