Indian Food ??

Biglovelovesme

My entire network of home support (read:my husband and child) have decided that they would like to have Indian food for dinner this evening. I haven't even begun to research whether or not there is anything on a traditional Indian menu that I might be able to eat. I love Indian food and am confident that it is one of the many assists that helped me get to my current state of chubbiness. In the past, I have paid little to no attention to calories, fat, etc and just ordered whatever.

Any suggestions? I have about 550 calories for dinner.

:drinker:

Stick to the tandoori grilled meats and stay away from all of the sauces, they are loaded with ghee (butter).

Indian food is awesome! That being said, I try to shy away from the rice. It's a bunch of calories that has little flavour. 1 cup = 242 calories. I'd rather have the sauce at a half cup for 110 calories.

Indian food is great for my weight loss - can't stop running to the bathroom for a full day afterwards! lol

but yeah stay away from the sauces they are really fattening.
