Is Sourdough Bread High In Syns? - Our Slimming World Syn Guide!

If you love sourdough and Avacado toast for breakfast or maybe with some fresh jam, you might be wondering how many syns your usual toast has in the morning and if it is slimming world friendly.

Sourdough bread has on average 5 syns for a 40g slice and 9 syns for an 80g slice making it high in syns, we would therefore suggest only having this bread occasionally on the plan.

In our syn guide below, we will take you through how many slices of sourdough you can have on the slimming world, syn values and some low syn alternatives for your breakfast.

How Many Slice Of Sourdough Can I Have On Slimming World?

If you're picking a smaller slice of sourdough weighing around 40g you could have on average up to three slices of sourdough before using all of your 15 syn daily allowance. For a larger slice weighing 80g, this would be two slices.

Sourdough is high in syns so should be consumed in moderation but it is a healthy choice to have in comparison to regular white bread since it is low in sugar and fermented which makes it great for your digestive system.
