Could anyone advise me how many chips a portion is on Slimming World. Roughly, how many chips should I eat!

As many as you want. As long as one third of your plate is veg/speed foods then you really can eat as much as you like. It's also better to fill up than want to snack or be hungry later.

I would say approx one quarter of a plate. Whilst they say you can eat unlimited potatoes, I would advise some moderation. You won't lose much weight if you fill a plate three quarters full with chips. A quarter protein, a quarter carbs and half plate veg is what I aim for.

A quarter of a plate is a good guideline. I thought I'd cooked too many last night. They were the low fat ones.

On the old Red plan a Hex B of potato (with skin) was 200g. I liked to spread my 2 HexBs over the day in half portions so would go for 100g - definitely helped with weight loss and 100g of potato is not that tiny an amount. 200g is plenty.

On EE it is just as long as speed is 1/3 so maybe 1/3 chips and 1/3 protein would be a good place to aim for.

If they weren't slimming word chips then they would need to be counted for a syn value. It won't be that high as they are mainly potatoes but will be some syns

Yes, it's only Slimming World chips that are free. Low fat / oven chips have syns as they're sprayed or coated with oil before freezing to help with cooking.

100g of McCain 5% fat oven chips is 1.5 syns.
