How to find the lowest Syn crisps
When choosing crisps on Slimming World, the most important thing is the exact product. The brand, flavour, bag size and recipe can all affect the Syn value.
A smaller multipack bag may be much easier to fit into your day than a larger grab bag or sharing bag. Lighter, baked, popped or lower-calorie savoury snacks can also be useful options to check first.
Do not assume that every flavour from the same brand has the same Syn value. Cheese, meat, spicy, loaded or ridged varieties may differ from ready salted or lighter versions.
| Easier options to check first | Be more careful with |
|---|---|
| Smaller multipack bags | Large grab bags |
| Baked crisps | Sharing bags |
| Popped snacks | Loaded or coated crisps |
| Lighter crisps | Creamy, cheesy or meat-flavoured varieties |
| Rice cakes or corn snacks | Large tortilla chips and dip-style snacks |
| Lower-calorie savoury snacks | Crisps with unclear portion sizes |

Why you should not guess crisp Syn values

Always check the exact brand, flavour, bag size and serving size. This is especially important with multipack crisps, grab bags, sharing bags, popped snacks, baked crisps and supermarket own-brand products.
