Are Singapore Noodles Slimming World Friendly? - Our Unofficial Slimming World Syn Guide

Singapore noodles are a popular choice for a quick and tasty lunch, but if you’re following the Slimming World plan, you’ll want to know how many syns Singapore noodles contain. On average, a packet of Singapore noodles is around 7.5 syns, though this can vary depending on the brand and added ingredients. Plain noodles without sauces or oils are usually syn free, making them the best option if you want to stay on plan.

In this guide, we’ll take you through the typical syn values of supermarket Singapore noodles, why pre-made versions can be higher in syns, and some lower syn alternatives to enjoy. Plus, we’ve included our very own Slimming World Singapore Noodles recipe – a low syn, healthy version you can make at home.

Why Are Singapore Noodles So High In Syns?

At around 7.5 syns on average for a serving, Singapore noodles can be very high in syns consuming over half of your 15 syn daily allowance on the plan.

Pre-made versions like Aldi Singapore noodles tend to be high in syns due to the added ingredients like oil, which increases the fat content.

That being said, Singapore noodles themselves are considered to be syn free on the slimming world plan like all other dried noodles as long as they are plain and don't have oil inside to keep the noodles separate.

Final Words

To conclude, dried Singapore noodles and all noodles are syn free on the slimming world as long as they are plain, however, most supermarkets store fresh Singapore noodles in spices and oils which means they have syns.

Pre-made noodle packs are also very high in syns due to their added ingredients, to save syns, we recommend making your own at home.
