Unofficial Slimming World syns list – treats under 5 syns or 100kcal

Here are some healthier snacking ideas which may help you all under 5 syns on Slimming World or 100Kcals. A perfect snacking amount if you are losing weight but still need treats.

Sometimes, however healthy you are trying to be, you just want snacks. when is your snacking time? I find that I am worse when I am bored in the evenings or if I am feeling emotional like after a counselling session.

Disclaimer: Just Average Jen is not connected with any weight loss plan. Please check nutritional values and/or syns yourself as these are approximate to the best of my knowledge.

There are so many healthy syn free snacks you could enjoy on the Slimming World plan I have written a full post of syn-free snack ideas. We don’t always want speed foods though do we and that is why we have a daily syn allowance!

Other good things to snack on are your healthy extra A choice of cheese or a cereal bar, bowl of cereal or some toast from your healthy extra B choice. How many syns you use is entirely up to you. Whether you use all your syn allowance on snacks or just a few syns on a bit of chocolate, the choice is yours!

Can you enjoy these snacks on other weight loss plans?

If you follow Weight Watchers (WW), Noom or any other weight loss plan you can usually count these in another way, such as points or calories, and all the following are under 100 calories, of course, always check your plan for advice.

I want to remind you to drink responsibly and know your limits. While enjoying drinks with friends can be fun, keeping your safety and well-being in mind is important. Always have a designated driver or plan for a safe ride home, and never feel pressured to drink beyond your comfort level. Remember, the most important thing is your health and safety!

How to calculate your syns?

Do you wonder how many syns you have? If you have forgotten what your consultant told you or perhaps you are following the plan at home and don’t know how many syns you should have then I have an article of all you need to know about that.

Check how to calculate your syns with my syns calculator. In general, if there are no free foods included in the snack then 20 calories is equal to one syn on the Slimming World eating plan.

Slimming World members of course have use of the app but if you are having to budget and let your membership lapse you can keep trying to reach your weight loss goals with a little help.
