Dale Farm Spelga Cottage Cheese with Chives.

I've done a search and nothing comes up.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the syn value, from my estimate it's 5 syns but I'm not 100%

Values per 100g

95kcal

10.2g protein

4.0g of carbohydrates (of which sugars 4.0g)

4.1g of fat (of which saturates 2.5g)

0.3g sodium

using cottage cheese as free food it works out as 1 Syn per 100g

 

[Jenna88]

Should I be using it as free as part of EE? It wasn't fat free, just low in fat.

Eh? The cottage cheese part is free, then the calculator adds any other fat or sugar or whatever it can find that would be *over and above* what *would* be in free, (fat-free, sugar-free) cottage cheese - that's what the syns are for.
They account for the bits that are added on to the actual free cottage cheese. Does that make sense?

Heh no youre not thick, I didnt understand it at first either, I thought if yoghurt wasn't fat free how could it be counted as a free food, then it became clear the syns *are* the fat/sugar on top of the otherwise free fat-free bit of the yoghurt
