I'm going to a Potluck tonight with a bunch of girl friends. Lot's of ethnic high calorie foods. I'm hoping to stay on track - without being the person who eats nothing.... suggestions?

I'm saving most of my calories for tonight so I'll have 1200 I can eat.

Also - what should I bring that I can make without much fuss on short time frame? - I will be going to the grocery store.

    What I would do is limit myself to only one plate, and look over everything before you serve yourself.
    Choose a couple of things you know you like, get a reasonable portion, and enjoy. You know how you grab some of everything, and some of it isn't good? Don't waste calories on the so-so foods.

    Check out the recipes forum for ideas. Lots of good stuff in there.

    Eat small portions within your calorie target. Kinda like every day, probably.

    Brilliant. If it's so so and its not on my plate, I won't eat it, because everyone else is just sitting there, eating....
