Hey everyone - One of our suppliers is taking me out for Thai food today for lunch. . . I was THINKING of having lettuce wraps, but am wondering if there are any other healthy options I should consider. I've not had much Thai before. Thanks!

    I looked on the food database, and some were as high as 1200 calories! That's my entire day in one meal! :(

    Good job, asks for healthy options go right for that... amazing.

    I'd recommend the chicken satay, or any of the salads that they offer (depending on the place), and maybe even thai chicken curry - Calories 340 (1421 kJ)

    The volume it's served in?
    noodles, veggies, eggs, and chicken. And a good bit of salt. Much worse things out there for you, but around here, it's served in like 3lb servings :D

    I made it at home once. The recipe called for like 3 cups of sugar. That's why it's so delicious!!! Also, depending on the place, it can be pretty greasy.

    thai food is my favorite so bump...

    i always get red chicken curry with brown rice, not sure of calories but its a special every once in a while treat that is eaten in moderation and I dont really care about the calories because its a special treat for myself when i want it.
