Hello again,
Following on from my post this morning about not losing (in fact gaining!) the past two weeks, I decided to join the website and start doing an online food diary.
Wow! No wonder I have been unsuccessful!!! My group leader has been a little remiss in telling me some of the things which have syn values and I think that means I have maybe gone over syns on a lot more days than just the one I knew about.
I have been using the Uncle Ben's express long grain rice pouches, thinking they were free - actually 1 syn. Also the cheesecake muller lights - actually one syn, and my biggest mistake has been Quorn cocktail sausages (which I snack on LOADS) which are actually 1 syn for four - I thought they were free.
Now I know these things I may do a little better as I have all three of those things at least once a day (when on green) so have been having at least an extra 4 syns a day without realising!!! I even had the cherry muller lights a few times which are 2.5 syns each!
AHHHHHH!!!! So much for my group leader saying "All quorn, muller lights and rice is free". Guess I should have read my syn lists a few more times but these "hidden syns" are a bit confusing (I also had a week where I ate fresh pasta before realising - from this forum - that it was synned).
I'll be back on track now!! Are there any other hidden syns I should know about??
