I didn't have my hexa today so allowed 57g of the bread as an extra hexb to replace it (I know you're not supposed to do that but I figure it's still roughly the same amount of calories and wont hurt if I don't do it often!). I then weighed another 12 syns worth to mop up the leftover gravy from the stew!! I used 3 tsp of flora extra light too (1.5 syns).
