Are you trying to lose weight? If so how often do you eat out
I prioritise blood glucose over weight loss. Always have. My weight is challenging, to say the least. Exhaustive experiments, varying calorie intake and Adusting my low carbing don't seem to make much difference - to me. I'm a 'special circumstance' due to girlie hormonal stuff that shouldn't affect you.
But for someone who finds that low carbing aids with weight loss, then it isn't difficult to choose lower calorie options from the list I gave above. And for lchfers, then the oils used in curries shouldn't be a problem. Chicken shashlik is grilled kebab style so it ticks all the boxes, and cauliflower or okra or auberine side dishes are good options - although of course different chefs use different amounts of oil.
We probably only eat out (curry) 3 or 4 times a year, with a couple more takeaways, so maybe once every couple of months. Interestingly, i usually find that the takeaway portions are bigger than the eat in portions, so i only eat half a takeaway, and then have the rest the next day - but again, that is one meat and two veg dishes, which ends up being very filling.
