Is the tempura deep fried? If so then no

WildBluebells · 20/03/2025 19:09

No it’s cooked in oven

Depends whether it's within your calorie deficit or not. You can eat deep fried things as part of a healthy balanced diet, but it needs to be in a cal deficit.

Cal deficit to lose weight, I mean

WildBluebells · 20/03/2025 19:12

I need to stick to 1600 calories a day

OP posts:
WildBluebells · 20/03/2025 19:12

So I’m sure that would be within that

OP posts:
WildBluebells · 20/03/2025 19:12

I try and go lower than 1600 most days. I aim for around 1000/1100

You’d need to count the calories in the meal to know whether you were in calorie deficit for the day/week. Along with all the other food you ate in the day/week.

”Healthy food” and “unhealthy food” is a bit of a misnomer when it comes to weight loss; calories in (vs calories out) is what will tip the scales. I put the calories out in brackets because it is very hard to do enough exercise to compensate for high calories going in!

Just from your description I could eat that for dinner and remain in calories deficit for me, as long as I had a low-ish calorie lunch and skipped breakfast (as I normally do). But what will work for you depends on your TDEE and what else you are that day.
