Curry used to floor me for a good few days. Great to hear you have found an alternative. Were they homemade?

No, the local curry house 300 yards down the road.
I find eating out at an Indian restaurant about the easiest option there is. It is easy to avoid wheat, potato and rice (or at least minimise them), about 1/4 of the curry options are fine (just avoid the sweet fruity ones, and go for dry, oniony peppery ones instead), and the side dishes are better than boring old rice any day... it is a feast! lol.

Mind you we eat curry a lot at home too, but I cheat using Patak's curry PASTES (not the sauces). and cauliflower rice, usually.

Used to do the whole shebang, dry roasted spices, coffee grinder, ghee, dhal, chutneys... but life intrudes, doesn't it? Nowadays, I cheat. A lot. :D
 
B: 2 slices wholemeal toast with spread cheese and sweet pickle 7.7 to 8.8

Now this demonstrates how sad I am and the lengths I will go to ...
Using McD's own nutrition calculator...
To find the calories etc for a sausage patty, deduct the values for a standard sausage & egg muffin from a DOUBLE.
To find the value of a cheese slice, deduct the value of a hamburger from a cheeseburger
They don't have the value of a fried egg on site, but luckily Google does.

So you now have the nutritional values for a sausage patty, an egg and a slice of cheese. Add these up and then deduct the total from the values for a sausage & egg mcmuffin. et voila - the values for the bun.

The bun is 154 cals, 24g carbs, 7g protein and 3g fat - or thereabouts. So half a bun is 77 cals, 12g carb, 3.5g protein and 1.5g fat.

Yesterday's efforts
B - mashed avocado on half a Lidl roll
L - turkey salad with mayo
D - chicken fillets roasted with courgette, tomatoes, peppers & onions in olive oil

S - pork scratchings, couple glasses of merlot.

Edit - the roasting veg was one of these -http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=281236965
Just add some slices of chicken (plus garlic and herbs if you want), mix in some olive oil and bung it in the oven for half an hour. Doddle
