Everyone loves a scone in the afternoon with a cup of tea, but since these scones are not free food in the slimming world, you need to know their syn values before eating them for you to still get the best results on your weight loss journey.

Why Are Morrison's Fruit Scones High In Syns?

Morrison's fruit scones are high in syns due to their high-fat content from the butter and flour, the fruit inside also contributes to a lot of sugar which increases their calorie content, and therefore their syns too.

At nearly 12-13 syns per scone, you need to be careful about how many scones you are eating daily as they consume most of your daily syn allowance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are syn values calculated?

Syn values are calculated using a formula based on calories, saturated fat and sugar content per serving. They’re not the same as calories — a product can be low in calories but higher in syns if it’s high in sugar or fat. Always check the official Slimming World app for the most accurate and up-to-date syn values.

Do syn values change?

Yes. When manufacturers reformulate their products, the syn value can go up or down. This is why we recommend double-checking with the Slimming World app or your consultant, especially if a product’s packaging has changed recently.

How many syns should I have per day?

Most Slimming World members work with 5 to 15 syns per day. Your consultant will advise on the right amount for you. The key is to use your syns on the things you enjoy most — whether that’s a chocolate bar, a glass of wine, or a packet of crisps.
