Prezzo - estimating syns

[Wendolene]

My partner and I are off to Prezzo next Monday. We have eaten there quite regularly in the past, and my favourite dish is Penne Arrabiata (pasta in tomato sauce with garlic and chilli).

I'm planning on having the 'light' option, which is only 383 calories. It comes with a side salad (which contains a very small quantity of olives - probably only 2 or 3 in there, which were going to be a treat) and a small portion of low calorie dressing on the side (which I'm guessing is included in the calorie value for the meal).

I've looked in the back of my book, through Syns online and googled it to no avail.

I'm just looking for a rough estimate really, to go in my food diary (I'm fairly new to this!). I'm guessing the main Syns will come from the oil in the tomato sauce and the olives in the salad.

Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Hi Wendolene, I used the snackulator syn calculator on the SW website and it advises that 383 calories work out at 19 syns. Hope this helps!

Thanks, Jade - could explain why I didn't lose much this week, as I also decided to have a small glass of red with my pasta - whoops. At least I'll know to go easy on the syns the rest of the week next time (which isn't far away, as its a friend's birthday this Sunday!).

Thank you again . X
