Hi Ladies hows everyone? Im off out later for a meal at daughters. They have decided to make a tikka masala from a Rick Stein book as they know all 5 of us will then eat the same thing ( her words - mam were trying to think healthy and also make something Ian ( my son) will eat) he is so fussy lol.

So as its made from scratch (he uses all fresh ingredients) I dont know how many syns to count? Any ideas ladies
Also for lunch today I had half a portion of chip shop chips - so need to syn those, I did however refuse a free fish

 

[*Emsie*]

Whats in it thats non sw? oil? divide by the servings and syn? x

 

[Texty_F]

Ill have to ask what hes put in before I eat it Emsie lol im becoming a bit paranoid now, its rare anyone else cooks for me but I like to see what they are using. He follows the recipe as is from the book so should be easy to calculate I think, doing it the way you suggest. Thanks hun

Hi hun,

An average portion of chip shop chips is 17.5 syns so if you had half and counted 9 syns you should be about right.

Emsie's idea is prob easiest for synning your meal.

Have fun! x

If he's using a recipe that makes it easier, just googled it and it says cream, can they swap that for fromage frais lol x

 

[Texty_F]

Lol I know he wont use fromage frais cos they will have all the ingredients in now - Ill just eat lettuce from tomorrow until WI lol.

Yeh I reckoned on 9 too hun - I also resisted bread and butter as well as the fish lol it killed me but i did it

 

[flabtofit]

Your willpower is amazing! I would've scoffed the lot lol.

Sometimes we can't avoid eating syns, going out is part of life. Enjoy it and just get back on plan tomorrow x

 

[Texty_F]

Ill be back on plan tomorrow definitely - ill be on plan all day saturday - then im out sat night. No food but there will be lots of vodka - i probably wont eat much on Sunday as ill be too hungover haha - well maybe a SW full english about 2pm ish

How lovely having dinner cooked for you! Usually tikka is marinaded in yogurt so you might be ok syn wise for it? Enjoy! Xx

 

[Texty_F]

Well .......... Im home lol. Food was lovely but he let me down grrr he didnt have time to make from scratch so they popped to morrisons and bought stuff from the chillers - God knows how many syns. To be fair I didnt eat as much as I would have at a restaurant and ate till comfy not stuffed. Everyone had 2nds but me

No idea on syns -

2 of these spoonfuls of rice and a bit less of curry, 1 large onion bhaji (5.5) , 1/2 lge garlic naan (11)


im thinking if I say 25 in total???
