    Imagine two Samosas for a starter, a Chicken Tikka Masala and two
    Naans for main, and a Gulab Jamon for sweet – you easily have a
    meal that contains over 1800 calories! When the average calorie for
    a day are about 2500 for a man and 2000 for women. This one meal
    alone does not leave a lot of calories for the rest of the meals!

    Being a big ‘foody’ does have its downfalls but if you plan out your
    meals and stay within a reasonable calorie content you should be
    able to shift enough pounds in time. All you need is a little hard
    work to fight off temptation and the determination to fit into that
    perfect sari or perfect suit for that special date or occasion.
