    You have plenty of calories for the grilled haddock fillet plus a little bit of pudding. Don't sweat it and enjoy!

    Stick with meat/poultry/fish and fresh unseasoned veggies when going out to dinner.

    I really fancy the chicken penne or vegtable filo basket. Not so good then?
    Which pudding do you think would be heathiest?

    Thanks

    I wouldn't eat any pudding or penne (pasta).
