After yesterday's well planned day of eating I expected to eat almost no syns at all ... just a couple for gravy on my cottage pie really. So when I stopped for petrol I thought it would be safe to eat a cereal bar. I picked up an Eat Natural Cranberry and Macadamia Cereal Bar and I tell you what, it was really really delicious. I was pretty sure cereal, puffed rice, nuts and dried fruit couldn't be too high in syns, despite not having any nutritional information on the packet. The most information I could glean from it was that it was all natural ingredients with "no hidden nasties". Smashing.
However, on checking the food directory I was a bit horrified to discover it was 11.5 syns! Now, as I had eaten no other syns all day (apart from a bit of bisto) I think I have narrowly avoided disaster with 13.5 syns in total for the day. Bit of a shock though ... so much for no hidden nasties.
I have been pretty good today anyway and to make up for it I don't plan to eat more than 7 syns today ... most of which have come from a bag of quavers (4.5 syns) which I just couldn't resist. The rest will be from cornflour to make a sauce for a cauliflower cheese using a HE of cheese and a HE of skimmed milk. It's a green day so I shall be having that on a big jacket potato with a green salad and tomatoes. I had fruit and yoghurt for lunch and baked beans on wholemeal with a poached egg for brekkie. Oh, and I'm just eating a pineapple boiled sweet so I shall add a syn for that too.
