"free" takeaways

[MattsMum]

My takeaway is exactly the same, a chicken chow mein weighs 700g.

Those syns seem really low considering that the shop will obviously be using oil - how is that?

 

[kingleds]

Because all the ingredients except the oil are free on extra easy, so they are only synning the oil really.

I love beef in blackbean and boiled rice! 5 syns and it feels like I'm being very naughty! X

 

[Mumelie]

I love king prawns in black bean sauce and cheapskate boil my own noodles at home!

 

[MattsMum]

I really can't highlight this enough please weigh your takeaway before eating it, as I said before mine is almost double the syns at every takeaway in my area.

 

[craftyjo]

but is it within range if your sharing half?

[MattsMum]

Yeah, I have all of it though and just double the syns! I'm not trying to be a pedant but I know last time I was on SW I didn't lose as much and it was probably due to the vast quantities of Chinese I eat!!!

Glad I'm not the only one who eats a whole chow mein to myself! But I do weigh it and syn it appropriately.

I do miss chinese food more than anything else I think

 

[MattsMum]

I've been trying to make my own but it's never right so I allow myself a Chinese after every weigh in and I usually have chicken chow mein or chicken in black pepper with loads of boiled rice. Yum.

I think Chinese takeaways are really good for syn values. Most main means (not deep fried) you can get with boiled rice under 10 syns. And even if u weigh it out with the rice it's a lot of food for syn value. I just think of it that a cadbury caramel egg is 9.5 syns so I know what I would rather pick xx

 

[Shrimpy]

Me too, the caramel egg! LOL.

Though, I can manage to do chinese (7.0syns) AND a caramel cake bar (6.0syns)... UNDER daily total! Gawd! I love SW

Yummy chow mein

 

[rattymum]

Hello! I had a chicken chow mein last night and it weighed 600gr. I synned it at 12 syns(?) as it wasn't exactly double the amount it says in book (7 syns for 380gr). It was lovely too! that's all i had though and it was filling. xx

Did a bit of maths. 7 divide by 380 and then x 600g gives you 11 syns!

Eat your heart out for 3syns ;-) My home-made chinese!!!

Hi Shrimpy
Thanks for that! 11 syns is better than 12! LOL! I didn't know how to work syns out (being a newbie).
I know now! x
