Dairy syn values
Dairy on Slimming World splits two ways: Healthy Extra A choices (specific portions of hard cheese, semi-skimmed milk) that cost no syns, and the rest where the syn value scales with fat content. Full-fat cream sits much higher than fat-free yogurt for the same volume, knowing where each item lands makes meal planning easier.
