1% milk

[ammsas]

Hi, does anyone know if 'the one' milk (1% fat) would be classed as skimmed or semi skimmed for HEXA?

 

[sugar_lipswales]

I'd class it as skimmed x

Skimmed milk has between 0.1% and 0.3% fat though. If I remember rightly 1% falls between skimmed and semi-skimmed and you get 300mls for a HEA

yeah i was told in class that it was inbetween skimmed and semi-skimmed you could have 300mls as healthy extra A

Thanks ladies. That'll save some syns when I have a cuppa!

According to the SW website (the Healthy Extras page) you can have 300ml of the milk branded "the one" (it's a Robert Wiseman dairies one - our poundland and wilkos sell it) but otherwise it seems to be treated the same as semi skimmed in that you can have 250ml as a hex A.

Thanks Tarka, this is the one I bought, 'the one' that is x

1% milk is 300ml for a HeA, or 2 syns per 100ml if you're splashing it in the coffee..

Not every 1% milk is according to the hex checker on the slimming world site!!! See my post a few up

if it's 1% then I don't see how one brand can be different to another..
do they add sugar to some of them? no, so the calories should be the same and if the fat's the same then it's exactly the same..

or do they add extra calcium to "the one" milk?

I agree, however SW have the 1% sainsburys milk down as 250ml not 300ml like "the one". So officially you can't treat all of them as having 300ml. If you don't follow to the letter and treat all 1% milk as 300ml and have probs with loosing then it's definately something to consider
