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

If you're the kind of person who loves a sweet breakfast or savoury potato waffles, you might be wondering how high in syns waffles are on the slimming world plan.

Waffles can have varying syns according to where you buy them from and the toppings you choose, on average you can expect one waffle to have 5 syns for a 45g waffle or up to 12.5 syns for a 75g sweet waffle. 

In our syn guide below, we will take you through how many waffles you can have on the slimming world, some varying syn values and a slimming world recipe for making your waffles at home!

How Many Waffles Can I Have On Slimming World?

At 12.5 syns for a larger 7-inch sweet waffle, we would only recommend having one sweet waffle on the slimming world plan, for savory potato waffles you can have up to three 45g potato waffles before using all of your 15 syn daily allowance.

Waffles get most of their syns from the sugar for sweet options and the oil in savory options, making them high in syns, to save syns we suggest choosing mini waffles.

Final Words

Overall, waffles are high in syns, this is due to the sugar and oil inside of them which makes them higher in calories, the average potato waffle has around 5 syns per one while sugar waffles have up to 12.5 syns so, therefore, should be consumed within moderation.

Be mindful of the toppings on waffles to keep them low in syns, and choose syn-free food options like eggs or berries rather than bacon or ice creams.
