How Many Tortilla Chips Can I Eat On Slimming World?

At 6 syns for 25g, you could have up to around 70g of plain salted tortilla chips before using up all of your 15 syn daily allowance.

This makes tortilla chips a very high syn crisp, the high syns in them come from the fat content, having up to 6g of fat a portion due to the oil inside of the chips.
