OKay here is a handy tip for working out syns - just look at the calories - it will be one syn for every 20 calories where there is no free food allowance

Is it literally as simple as that & is it always accurate to do that? Xx

For food with no free food allowance it is just as simple as that - so really handy for snacks and junk food when you need to know in a hurry. It doesn't work when there are free foods eg a mugshot as the pasta in it counts as a free food and this affects the syn value.

You can use the 20 calories rule with these foods:

Alcoholic drinks
Biscuits, including cereal bars and savoury crackers
Bread & crispbreads
Breakfast cereals
Cakes & bakery items, e.g. carrot cake
Crisps & snacks
Dressings & dips, e.g. salsa, salad dressing
Fruit - canned, dried and stewed
Pastry products (sweet & savoury), e.g. salmon en croute, apple pie
Pizza
Puddings & desserts
Sandwich/deli fillers
Sandwiches and wraps
Sauces, e.g. jars of tomato-based pasta sauce
Soft drinks, including yogurt drinks fruit/vegetable juice and fruit smoothies
Soups, all varieties
Sweets & chocolates
