Been using myfitnesspal for 6 weeks now and lost 12 lbs, :0) Very happy however I am going for a curry with friends on Saturday which will include wine. Does anyone have any tips on the best curry to go for?

Also weigh did is Monday, but should i weigh myself today to see how much i have lost since Monday and then again this Monday to see that the Curry has done?

Thanks, :flowerforyou:

    I went for a curry with friends a few weeks ago and I ordered a Tandoori Mixed Platter .... it came with salad instead of rice and there was sauce but it was in a separate bowl so I was able to control how much I had.
  • I had this dilemma and asked my curry house which ones were the lower calorie/fat options, and they advised choosing dishes not made with ghee. I always opt for sharing a chicken tikka biryani nowadays, although even the healthier option with half a naan still breaks my calorie bank coming in at just over 1100 cals and then there's the wine to add on....!!! but mmmmmm its worth it occasionally.
    I tend to save curry's for when I've had heavy excercise days so that I can justify the meal as 'eating back my excercise cals' , or you could work them off by dancing the night away with your friends afterwards :D
    Whatever you decide, enjoy your night out and dont feel guilty about your choice... just enjoy your evening and worry about it next week!!!
  • Veggie currys are good to go for less cals and plain boiled or steamed rice. Also red vino has less calories than white by about 30 cals a glass. From what I've read anyway.
    More importantly have fun x
  • Thanks Ladies, i went for the Bhuna with chicken, which was more tomato based. I had quite a bit of wine and the next day i had a time out choc bar (84 cals a stick, yum) tastier than kit kats too i think.

    I did not lose anything on the Monday (weigh day) however i also did not put on (yey!) :)

    Thanks again for the info Ladies. xxx
