Are Paninis High In Syns On Slimming World? - Our Syn Guide

There's nothing quite like a hot panini for lunch, but paninis are not syn free on slimming world, so you need to make sure you are tracking the syns in them in order to stay on track with your weight loss.

Paninis have a variety of syns according to the fillings, on average they can have syns between 12.5 syns and 25 syns, making them very high in syns, therefore we would only suggest having them as the occasional treat on the plan.

We've put together a short syn guide below which will discuss why paninis are so high in syns, some varying syn values and our SW recipe for making healthier paninis at home!

Why Are Paninis High In Syns?

As we mentioned above, one panini depending on the filling can have between 12.5 syns and 25 syns for the sandwich, consuming most of your daily syn allowance. Paninis bread is quite thin and healthy, these sandwiches get the majority of their syns from the fillings like cheese instead.

Therefore, choosing healthier fillings inside of your panini can help to save syns.
