Just that really.
I'm recommended 5-15 syns per day.
Do people use all/ most of their their syns daily ?
How many syns do people use on treats like chocolate/ crisps etc?
Can.i have some examples of low syn treats to enjoy?
Thank you, I'm obviously new to S.W and all help appreciated Smile

I aim for10 syns a day.

Pink and white wafers are 2.5 syns. Pop them in the microwave for 12 seconds.

Walkers sunbites popcorn sweet and salty is 2.5 syns. Other flavours 3 syns.

Ringos and hula hoop puffs are 3.5 syns.

Rainbow drops are 2 syns for a 10g bag.

Party ring minis are 4 syns.

Freddo is 5 syns, melt it then dip strawberries in it.

I don't aim to use any and just when I fancy something. Some days I'll just use 3 or 4 if that but then at weekends (my weak spot) I probabily use all 15. Some weeks I'm fine other weeks I'm hungry and craving chocolate so will use more then. I use alot of choc shot (1/2 syn per tsp) in Greek yog, nutella bar 5.5 syns, mini cookies 5 syns a bag, the 10kcal jelly 1/2 syn, mini meringues, mini green and blacks 4 syns (they are really small), erm just mini stuff really I use the rule of thumb 20 cals = 1 syn as a guide when I'm looking for things. I usually have fruit on an evening too which helps my sweet tooth.

I don’t “plan” syns unless I know I’m going out for example. Today I’ve used 12 on oil, honey and a chomp. Some days I’ll just use one or two. I tend to incorporate most of them into meals

Thanks a million. Plenty of good ideas there with put spending too many syns. I found I wasn't having many but the cravings started to creep in and I'm trying to curb them.
Thanks again, loom forward to trying these !

I use 2.5 syns every day on lunch. I usually top it up to about 10 with evening treats and dinner.

I need something sweet tbh, a small treat keeps me on the straight and narrow!

I have 10 a day then have a take away every Friday. 4.5 stone lost thus far.

To be honest I keep my meals syn free and use my Syns for treats. Usually between 10 and 15. I love an options hot chocolate on an evening (2 Syns well spent!)
