The FastDay Forum

The idea is that these ready meals, which come in at just 400 calories, replacing the highly calorific and oily restaurant versions.

The diet Indian and Chinese takeaways, which cost £3.99, are part of the chain’ s successful ‘Count on Us’ range and would fit into the routine of the popular five and two fasting diet.

Thanks for the link Navwoman.

However, I think I'll stick to cooking from scratch on a FD and save myself for a calorific Lamb Dhansak and mushroom rice takeaway treat on an occasional NFD (as I will be doing tonight)

In my defense, I do only eat half to two-thirds, and save the rest for lunch the next (NF)day

[I should mention that I LOVE curry and rice, and could eat it for lunch and dinner 7 days a week - and for breakfast too if I 'did' breakfast]

Thanks for this - would be interested to see how these taste and how the portions are. With a spare 100 cals you could add another side of some kind or some extra protein (or a small pud?!)

Which reminds me, I need to post up my curry recipe sometime as it's low enough cal for a fast day but tasty like one from a curry house (my friend's hubby is an indian restaurant chef and taught me the basics)

ooh Moogie, yes, recipe please!

Nice spot - A trip to M&S may be in order!

My Friday night treat is not cooking because I cook from scratch every day. We always have curry on a Friday, never a takeaway, always a supermarket cook chill so I will definitely look out for these. I never fast on a Friday but a 400 cal curry wouldn't go amiss even so!
Thanks for letting us know Navwoman

Mmm as far as ready meals go you just can't beat M&S. I usually have their "FullerLonger" range on my fast days but have decided to try, I don't know, a soup or something easy to cook (don't want to spend too long in the kitchen!) I will certainly look out for their Chinese option...thanks
