    You can get lots of food for 600 calories.
    try to eat chappati instead of nan. 1 chappati - 60 calories (you can eat 3) :)
    1/2 cup plain rice - 128 calories
    chicken tikka masala - 1 portion is 295 calories so make it half
    plus add salad and raita, you are good to go or you may even save some calories. :)

    I love curry and it is my downfall. Pizza and cake I can take or leave but I love going out for an Indian meal. Homemade and healthy is not quite the same.

    Stick to a tomato rather than coconut based e.g. Jalfrezi over Korma.

    Do you know the place and is there a website with online menu so you can plan in advance and look up the calories counts? If you go in knowing the approx value of everything and what you have you will feel less guilty and then, if you know your plan will take you over your allowance you could try and fit in some exercise, even just a fast paced 30 mins walk...

    Also, try and be good during day so you have calories to spare BUT don't go there hungry and be tempted to over order. Have a healthy snack just before you leave to go to resto.
