Figuring out calories

I always find it tough when we go out for dinner to try and figure out the
amount of calories in food.

Last weekend we tried an Indian restaurant, had a chicken/pea curry, rice,
indian bread. In passing I asked the waiter if they knew the calories to
which they answered no.

Not knowing exactly what the ingredients are, is there any way to ball park
the calories in a meal such as this?

Try using fitday.com (it's free!). Searching chicken curry shows 292
calories for 1 cup, indian bread (fried--puri) is 112 calories--there's
no entry for naan--and white rice, is about 200 per cup, depending...

So you can get guesstimates pretty readily. Best to research before
eating out, though, as it can be a shock adding up afterwards...

Good luck,

Why bother trying...I'm sure you could ballpark it but why not just consider
it a special occasion and eat wisely?...One meal even a large one really
makes no difference if you just continue eating well afterward...GG
