I never realised i had to syn it cause i just having one dairlea triangle, didnt realise i need to have them all, i showed my consultant my diary last week and i always have same breakfast she didnt tell me that??? Confused haha!!
It was the same toast sorry!
Im going to have a little rice with dinner perhaps so that make it ee not decided yet

thanks for your help!!
 
I don't know the recipe for the chicken satay, so as a reminder, on SE you must take the higher syn value.

eg. Sausages that are 1/2 syn on EE and Red, yet 9 on Green would mean counting 9 syns for the sausage on SE.

Being controversial - I don't think that you would need to syn the dairylea triange. It's part of your hexa choice - although I would try and have more calcium from somewhere. You've not used many syns - you could have had a milky hot chocolate - used a few more syns and also increased your calcium.
 
I am liking the sound of the satay chicken. That has always been one of my favourite things from the Chinese.
What is the recipe for it? x
 
Here is the recipe

I love it, its amazing

Chicken Satay
Serves: 4
Syns per serving:
3 Syns on Original, Extra Easy and Green*
*Add 6 Syns if not using chicken as a Healthy Extra on Green
Ingredients.
For the satay chicken:
454g diced chicken breast
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp sweetener
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp ground c u m in
Fry Light
Satay/kebab skewers

For the sauce:
3 tbsp reduced fat peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
120ml water
½ garlic clove, crushed
1 tbsp sweetener
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp very low fat fromage frais
Method.
1. Place the diced chicken into a dish or bowl. Mix all the marinade ingredients together and pour over the chicken. Cover and marinade in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

2. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas 4. Drain the chicken, then skewer the chunks onto the kebab sticks (usually 3-4 pieces per stick)

3. Place on a baking tray, spray with Fry Light and cook for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked.

4. Whilst the chicken is cooking, make the sauce by mixing the peanut butter, water and garlic together in a pan over a low heat. Heat until the sauce begins to thicken slightly, but don't worry if it seems runny as it will thicken as it cools.

I was having the same problem few weeks ago, but decided to go back to basics 100% and (touch wood) seems to be working.

Re an earlier post about the HA/HB Dairylea thing, I was told that in order for the 'science bit' of SW to work you need to have the exact ammount of the stated HA/HB, like with some cereals you used to have to have a scan bran along side. Who knows!?? I guess whatever works for you is best!

Good luck! xx
 
Yeah babe I feel like I'm really strugging, like you will have saw on the facebook page.

I think I need to go back to basics and just stop being silly! Try to have your full HEXA, eating dairy is proven to aid weight loss :) x
