Ugh. This whole eating healthy thing is going to suck.

Posted by znufrii Apr 8 '16, 12:46

We're having Indian, and I'm pretty sure my regular lamb vindaloo is on the naughty list.

Any suggestions?

I took my cousin to a bbq place and she said she could only eat the chicken, no red meat. I almost laughed. - Max Apr 8, 13:06
They likely have a whole vegetarian section. Get something off that. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 8, 13:03 1
- unfortunately, for this circumstance, there are lots of veg. dishes that are not healthy. same reasons as below + fried, too. checking ingredients - b. Apr 8, 13:06

- I don't know if it's massively different. Some uniqueness sure, but a lot of overlap between both 'healthy' ways. -- nm - ty97 Apr 8, 13:08
- step 1..anything with 'fried' in the name is a no no. -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 8, 13:05 6
  - No cheesesteaks, hoagies, pizza, or ice cream either, according to the doc. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 8, 13:06 5
    - If it tastes good, you can't eat it. -- nm - spamlet, celebrating Rex Manning Daaaayyyyy! Apr 8, 13:09 3
      - Basically. -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 13:16 1
        
        I highly recommend Mediterranean food - Spanish, Provencal, Italian, Greek, Turkish. Portuguese also -- nm - Roger More Apr 8, 13:20

- There's plenty of overlap, I'm sure - znufrii Apr 8, 13:03
I've done it (more or less) for almost 9 years now. It really is survivable ;) -- nm - Meg Apr 8, 12:58
Brown rice instead of white rice. Or better yet, quinoa or cauliflower. - ReluctantCynic Apr 8, 12:52 6
- Wait, what's wrong with Coconut milk -- nm - JaxSean Apr 8, 13:04 2
  - saturated fat -- nm - Roger More Apr 8, 13:05 1
    - Oh wait. I was thinking coconut water. Is there anything wrong with that? - JaxSean Apr 8, 13:21
- the worst for indian is ghee and cream. tandoori, raita, green chutney, masalas without cream, and tomato or broth based sauces are the way to go. -- nm - b. Apr 8, 13:01
- Key word there is "serving" :) -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 12:55 1
  - Yep. :-) I have learned to live by Anthony Bourdain's admonition against "healthy alternative" recipes. - ReluctantCynic Apr 8, 13:00
Wait, you are still doing that? -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 12:52 5
- Duh. - znufrii Apr 8, 12:57 4
  - I thought you got better? -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 13:07 3
    - Only relatively speaking. - znufrii Apr 8, 13:08 2
      - F- that, find a better doctor! -- nm - Spawn Apr 8, 13:12 1
        
        Hi everybody! -- nm - Doctor Nick Apr 8, 13:13
Indian is one of my toughest to know how to do healthy (which is sad cause it's so delicious!) - ty97 Apr 8, 12:51 6
- Almost all Indian food cooked at home can be very healthy. - ReluctantCynic Apr 8, 12:57 5
  - come to my house and cook me Indian then! -- nm - ty97 Apr 8, 12:58 4
    - Trader Joe's green thai curry is very good as a base to work from -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 8, 13:02
    - Hire me as your personal chef! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 8, 13:00 2
      - Oh look at you, Mr "I have ridiculous demands and won't do what I'm told"! -- nm - ty97 Apr 8, 13:01 1
        
        Look, pixie has already cornered the market on STers living out of boxes in alleyways. I'm not going to steal his schtick. - ReluctantCynic Apr 8, 13:05
If you're at an Indian restaurant, probably everything is on the naughty list. - Roger More Apr 8, 12:49 1
- (Tandoori chicken or some sort of grilled meat would probably be safest, if you're trying for as low fat as possible) -- nm - Roger More Apr 8, 12:51
chicken vindaloo -- nm - Diva Apr 8, 12:48 5

  - Yeah, chicken vs lamb is pretty negligible. -- nm - ty97 Apr 8, 13:00 3
    - I was being facetious and joking with znu. you guys are no fun. -- nm - Diva Apr 8, 13:08 2
      - I blame Dawson, obvie. - ty97 Apr 8, 13:10
      - :) -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 13:09
