    There is a database entry for UK Fish and Chip Shop - Chips. 1 Regular portion:

    Calories 655
    Total Fat 38 g
    Total Carbs 45 g
    Dietary Fiber 5 g
    Sugars 14 g
    Protein 8 g

    You can then add the cheese. 100g of cheddar would be about:

    Calories 403
    Total Fat 33 g
    Saturated 21 g
    Polyunsaturated 1 g
    Monounsaturated 9 g
    Sodium 621 mg
    Potassium 98 mg
    Total Carbs 1 g
    Sugars 1 g
    Protein 25 g

    For me 1 portion (it the size is correct) would leave me with 780Kcal left for the day which is not a lot. You might find the more you get into your lifestyle change the less likely you will want you chips n cheese. I used to love pizza and steak pies but I don't touch them now. When I am at my target weight I might have one or the other once in a blue moon.

    How accurate the database is with you local Indian's I couldn't say. Personally I would stay away from the saturated and trans fats no matter how good they taste, it's your choice though.

    Tuffjourney, it would depend what side of the pond you are. Nacho's would be a better option.
