Bisto best roast winter veg. Made as directed on the jar. 1 level tablespoon per 140ml.
Says 4 heaped teaspoons per 280ml so that would be 2 per 140ml and there's 5ml in a level teaspoon and 15ml in a level tablespoon so I figure that a heaped teaspoon is about 7.5ml.
Per 70ml made up it's 21 cals so 1 syn.

Hi Coljack,
Couldn't resist having a look at your food diary.
It's interesting that u don't hav yr healthy extras. The only thing I find hard on EE is being limited to just 1 A and 1 B. I miss having 2 like u get on red and green days. But I wudnt switch from EE now as its so versatile.
Hope you hav a good week x

yes, stick half a tin in with the beans and nuke it for about 3 mins ( not in the can obviously, in a pyrex measuring jug.. )..

I forgot my beans for lunch so grabbed a granola bar out of the vending machine and had the fruit I'd packed..
I shopped on the way home meaning to do a huge ham salad and JP when I got back, but due to messing up for lunch, I was really hungry and the traffic didn't help, so the ham (400g), cherry toms (300g) and strawberries (400g) that were supposed to last 2-3 days ended up as my evening meal in the car on the way home..
I did a JP later on when I was hungry.. and had a couple of extra alpen lights before bed..

Not quite normal
It's fine, ColJack.
You can have an extra HEA as well, if you want.

Saw that you liked the spaghetti hoops with the sausages
I'm assuming you like the beans with them in too
I love them but loathe using 7 syns for a whole tin ( and I eat the whole tin yummy!!)
So....
I like to buy the mini tins (200g) and then its only 3.5 syns
And then fill the bowl with more hoops or beans - which as you know are free
So still get the wee yummy sausages and a full bowl but less syns as less sausages but you don't realise cause you still have a full bowl
Good luck on your weight loss
