Finding healthy snacks on the SW plan isn't always easy, you want to snack healthy, but avoid spending too many syns, so what about healthy bars like Nutrigrain bars, are they okay to have on the slimming world?

Nutrigrain bars typically have between 6-7 syns for a 37g bar, but these syns can go up according to the flavour and size of the Nutri-Grain bar.

We've discussed in further detail below why Nutrigrain bars are quite high in syns, some of their syns and some low syn alternatives to snack on the go with.

Why Are Nutrigrain Bars High In Syns?

At 6-7 syns for a 37g Nutrigrain bar, these snack bars are quite high in syns, consuming half of your 15 syn daily allowance.

Nutrigrain bars are high in syns due to their added flavourings which can make them very high in sugar, for example, Kellog Nutrigrain strawberry bars have 12g of sugar in them! We, therefore, suggest having these bars in moderation or checking out other types of Kellogg's cereal bars.

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.
