Are Singapore Noodles Slimming World Friendly? - Our Unofficial Slimming World Syn Guide
Singapore noodles make an easy and quick lunch, you can either buy them plain, adding your own ingredients, or buy the pre-made packet versions from the supermarket, but how many syns do these noodles have on the slimming world plan?
Singapore noodles typically have around 7.5 syns a pack depending on the brand, however, this can be considerably less if you choose the plain versions which are syn free or more syns depending on the ingredients added.
We've put together a syn guide below, discussing why Singapore noodles are so high in syns, syn values of different versions and some low syn packet noodle alternatives.
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.
