    I tend to find a supermarket ready meal that is similar and log it as 1.5 to 2.0 portions to account for the larger portions and perceived increased fat in take-away meals. For the chips, I'd log it as oven chips but then add 1tbsp of sunflower oil.

    Whatever you do, expect some water retention tomorrow.

    Would you say 1200 calories is safe ? Beef curry & fried rice (or boiled)

    Yep, I'd guess that that was erring on the side of caution.
