Colleagues ordering dhaba food—how do you eat lighter without making a fuss?
Quick question: when colleagues order from a dhaba or restaurant for office lunch, the choices are often heavy (parathas, fried starters, creamy gravies). What's your low-fuss move to eat something lighter while staying social—order a different dish, share portions, skip the sides, bring a small salad, or something else? Share one thing you actually do.

One low‑fuss move: politely request a small swap and portion tweak—e.g. “Can I have the gravy on the side and a plain roti instead of a paratha?” then pick dal or tandoori/roasted veg/chicken. If dishes arrive heavy, split a main with a colleague and fill up on salad/curd. Protein + fibre choices and less visible oil/cream cut calories and increase fullness without drawing attention.
