Just looked at the eating out section.....nothing looks great tbh! Chinese/Thai you can have plain noodles 0, spare ribs 6.5, beef/chicken in black bean sauce 6/7.5, chicken in oyster sauce 6.5. Could you have steak/fish and jacket potatoes with salad?

Wagamama's wasn't too Bad!

Pub grub/carvery type places are good for loading up on protein and veg.

Italian is good choice. Stick to pasta with a tomato based sauce, amatricaria is a good one, spicy sauce with bacon or a risotto. Turkish if you have one near you nearby, always plenty of grilled meat kebab options usually with rice and salad. Indian is ok if you choose carefully, something like chicken tikka (not the sauce kind) with rice and a vegetarian side dish

A steak would probably be your best bet or possibly an Italien and choose something with a tomato based sauce. Carvery is another good option.

Italian!

Greek is good-grilled fish/BBQ'd meat with rice and salad

Fish restaurant is the best bet in my experience. Avoid oily sauces or batter and stick to plain vegetable side dishes.

Steak with veg and baked potato with sauce on the side. Grilled chicken or spatchcock chicken. I don't eat fish but anything without batter or a really rich sauce should prob be fine.

Boiled rice + a low syn main in the Chinese
Boiled rice + dhansak or tandoori mean in the Indian
Tomato based pasta dish in the Italian. Read the ingredients, if it is a traditional carbonara it would be fine, as it is made with eggs not cream

Nandos is easy to syn. My go to is 1/4 chicken, spicy rice and salad or sweetcorn😋.

Definitely a carvery

@Shopaholic100 I made nandos spicy chicken rice from the PON website the other night. It was really good if you are looking to recreate it at home.
