Chinese Takeaway

[Not made to measure]

Yes this seems to be the case for me. I was told I could save all my syns for a special occasion or for weekend treat but if I do that I never lose anything. It's so annoying. I was wondering why I wasn't losing any weight at first. I'm going to have to try and do what you do and just refuse to go somewhere or just stick to syns daily and flexi it. Nothing is ever simple lol :break_diet:

Asked Chinese if I cud get the chicken chow mein cooked in soy sauce instead of veg oil and was laughed at and told that it has to be cooked in oil and couldn't have soy sauce! Anyone had any luck recently in getting it substituted lol x

I asked 2 different Chinese take away's to do mine without oil. One did it totally without oil and other used a small amount.

Does anyone no roughly how much is a serving half a container or whole container ?

Thanks for this thread - I'm quite new to SW and this thread has been very helpful. I always get sweet and sour chicken balls but I don't like batter so I cut them open and just eat the chicken with a small amount of the sauce - how many syns do you think this would be (roughly)?

Thanks

 

[BrokenMirrors]

That would be hard to gauge because it's still been deepfried.... If you don't like the batter why not just get Sweet and Sour Chicken and boiled rice? That would be 8.5 syns on extra easy.

Sorry to quote my own post, but wanted to share this in case it helped anyone else

I asked my consultant and she found out that the syn value for this is 7 syns.

How does this work with fish from chippy then ive always thought and had fish with mushy peas, removed all batter and had it as free?

Sweet & Sour Chicken in Batter, average portion, 320g serving 17½,17½,25½

Whats an ...average portion?
With my chinese I always get boiled rice, have 3 chicken balls, some sweet and sour sauce and 5-6 chips? lol!

I allow my syn allowance for a friday always to be 25 for a chinese speficially, do you think that would be covered?
