It's hubby's birthday tonight and its only fair to let him choose the restaurant for his birthday treat so he has chosen Indian food. What's the best option for me to eat? I have around 1000 calories left today and I can eat most things.
Anything in particular I should avoid?
Thanks x

Haha. I was just reading this article. I'm sure it holds true for women as well.
Go with tandoori! Yum.0 -
homemade, hahaha we use to go out but then we created an amazing recipie by combining a few and now we have it 2x a week my husbands favorite meal ever.
sorry seriously I don't know I would do research check to see if there is a website and any nutritional info... if not check into some homemade recipies online for approx cal for what you like to eat... and then either stick to that or enjoy the night (I don't know where you are on your journey, me I would count but I am not where i want to be yet and am very strict with myself till then, but my husband is also very strict with himself as he wants me to get to my goal weight and then we will celebrate together! So we have both forgone birthday dinners and cakes and christmas treats for this last year together.)
Sorry I guess I am not much help but if you want a great recipie I can share it. pm me...
the recipie is for curry chicken0 -
Only think I can think of off the top of my head is the tandoori chicken. Most of the dishes with sauces I can think of come with large amounts of clarified butter or cream. Maybe dal?
Good luck.0 -
I would go for the chicken tikka (breast meat and doesn't have a sauce, just coated in spices and cooked in the tandoor oven), a small portion of plain boiled rice and some cucumber & onion raita (plain yoghurt with cucumber and onion in it). Really filling but low fat and about as healthy as you can get in an Indian restaurant! Enjoy whatever you have and if you go over your calorie count, just be really good the next couple of days and it should all even itself out...0

Tandoori Chicken. Small amount over rice, small salad to start.0

Stick to South Indian vegetarian food, Light,healthy and not too much masala. Things like Idly,Dosa, Sambar, any indian fish dish. No Naan but rotti is good. Strictly no food court foods or 2 curry for $8.0
