Best bet in an Indian restaurant?

Dry chicken tikka with salad

Or if you really want a sauce, go for a tomato based one e.g Jalfrezi and choose plain steamed rice, not pilau etc

Avoid Naan bread. A poppodum is approx 50 cals

Skip Naan completely and try to do the same with rice or at least go way skimpy on your rice portions. Unless you are WAY calorie restricted or have already overdone it for the day, I would think you would be safe to eat a sampling of the main dishes. Just really watch your portion sizes. Like eat two tablespoons of several or something and go slow so you can enjoy every bite. I also do extended workouts on days I am going out to ensure I am not going over too much. Good luck.

I haven't been doing this long but a friend of mine has lost lots of weight on her diet. Her tipis not to avoid the food that you love because you end up having cravings. Just have small protions of different things or a little of each thing. It would probably be best to do excercise before that night to burn of calories that youve ate earlier in the day. Have a good night at the indian.

Tandoori sounds the go with a side of raita to add some juice?? Personally I'd eat a little less before or yesterday (bit late now), and a little less tomorrow, throw in an extra exercise session and eat my favourite dish (and lots of it)! I adore Indian. It is a baddie for the calories though. I am definitely of Kaylada's friend's persuasion.

Enjoy.

look for something with a tomato base not a yogurt or creamy sauce
try vegetarian or seafood
and halve your rice portion
