Same here, especially as you don't know what portion size it is either.
I know that eating in is smaller portions so that's a bonus.
I usually have a bhuna with rice but I Half thatwith hubby and then we get sagg aloo and onion barjees.
Can't really share in the restaurant so I was think chicken tikka as a main as it comes with salad bits but having some of hubby's rice x

According to the EOG, Chicken Tikka Main is 14pp and Plain Rice is 12pp (So half would be about 6pp) or Pilau is 25pp (so maybe have a 1/3 for 8pp). Onion Bhaji are 3pp Each. Saag Aloo is 5pp. So you could probably 'spend' 30pp and have a whole Tikka Main, 2/3 of Plain Rice, 1 Bhaji and Portion of Saag Aloo. How does that sound? X

That sound good, although my friend has changed her mind and we are now going to harvester. Which I suppose is ok as the salad bar is free so I can fill up on that.
I will check the menu out today too see what's not so high on points x

Harvester display their calories on the menu so just divide by 40 for a rough estimate, I think the EOG is are out of date for Harvester but I can send you a pic of it if you wanted? X

Hey I'm not sure, I sneakily weighed myself this morning as soon as I got up and the scales said I've put 1 1/2 lbs on :-( I'm not sure where I've gone wrong??
