Going to an Indian Restaurant

Boy that's a tough one. Indian restaurant dishes are healthy in terms of purity of ingredients but when it comes to oil and cream they use tons of it.

Perhaps you could find a grilled tandoori chicken skewer or something like that? That won't have sauce so will be much leaner.

If you go for a dish with sauces, perhaps avoid the cream-heavy ones like Korma, Rogan Josh or Tikka Massala.

Dopiaza or Biryani might be a bit less calories but it all depends on the restaurant I guess.

Don't get a naan bread accompaniment... that will almost double your calories.

The other option - work out like mad and buy yourself an extra 1000 cals for the day then have whatever dish you want :-)

At my local Indian they have a healthy option menu see if it has one and go for something off of that if they don't instead of having a naan have a popadom under a hundred calories and go for steamed brown rice or White xx

Tandoori is a great suggestion. Basically anything without a heavy sauce is probably fine. The beautiful thing about indian food is that it relies so heavily on spices.

Had Tandoori chicken last week when a customer brought us lunch. Awesome.
