    Here's an MFP resource:

    In general though, Satay is a good bet, you grill it yourself tableside. Maybe a dinner salad, or one of the grilled or veg entrees. Mainly, watch your portion size. Take at least half home, for leftovers.

    I usually get the #23 when I go to thai here but its not same on this and not sure which one it is. I only know by numbers. But here is a couple sites with nutritional date

    I usually get Chicken Basil. Not too high in calories - I think it's like 500 cal for 1.5 or 2 cups (it's in the MFP database). I also get tea before my meal so I get a sort of filling feeling before I get my food arrives.

    mmm, I love love love Thai food. I recommend the soups. My personal favorite is roasted duck noodle soup. The noodles are mixed with bean sprouts, the broth is flavored with anise and basil, and I get spicy level 5 (on a spicy scale 1 to 10 - 1 being not spicy, 10 being super ridiculously hot spicy). It's incredibly delicious. Yum. Now I'm hungry. Anyway, the chicken noodle soup is good too (made the same) but I prefer the roasted duck even though there's a bit more fat involved. If you're watching your fat, go with the chicken.

    I bet the Thai Fisherman Soup wouldn't be too bad as it appears to be made without coconut milk. (Coconut milk is about 550 calories a cup, I believe.) I ate Thai yesterday and had a great simple soup of chicken, shrimp, some veggies and rice noodles in broth. Reminded me more of a pho. I left a portion of the noodles behind and felt like I did okay with that. (Which the scale agreed with this morning.)
