How Many Syns in All-Bran?

All-Bran is not a Free Food on Slimming World, but it does qualify as a Healthy Extra B choice, which is almost as good. The official HExB portion for Kellogg's All-Bran Original is 40g, and when used as your daily Healthy Extra it costs you zero syns. Outside of the HExB allowance, 30g is 2.5 syns and 40g is approximately 3.5 syns. Always weigh your portion rather than estimating — All-Bran is an easy one to over-pour.

The Healthy Extra B portion for Kellogg's All-Bran Original is 40g. At that amount, used as your HExB for the day, it is completely free. It is well worth weighing rather than guessing — a generous-looking bowl can easily reach 55–60g, meaning the overage is synned at roughly 0.8 syns per 10g. If you are using a supermarket own-brand high-fibre bran cereal instead, always verify it against the current Slimming World app or your consultant, as approved equivalents can vary.

If you choose not to use All-Bran as your HExB, 30g is 2.5 syns and 40g is approximately 3.5 syns. The syn count is relatively low for a cereal, thanks in large part to All-Bran's exceptionally high fibre content, which is taken into account in the Slimming World calculation. That said, it is almost always better value to use it as your HExB and spend those 2.5–3.5 syns on something more indulgent later in the day — there are very few cereals that deliver this much fibre for nothing as a Healthy Extra.

All-Bran is one of the strongest breakfast choices on Slimming World, particularly if you find yourself hungry mid-morning and reaching for snacks. A 40g HExB bowl provides around 11g of fibre, which suppresses appetite noticeably better than most cereals at the same calorie level. Pair it with your HExA skimmed milk allowance and you have a completely syn-free breakfast that sustains you properly until lunch. The texture is an acquired taste for some people, but from a pure syn-efficiency and satiety standpoint it is one of the best options available.
