Office team lunches: one small ordering trick you use to get enough protein without sounding picky?
In team or client lunches where someone else orders for the group, the menu often ends up heavy on rice, gravies or snacks. What’s one simple thing you do when ordering so your plate is actually protein-rich and filling without making a fuss? (swap a side, choose tandoori/kebab, ask for extra dal, split a salad, etc.)

Quick, low‑fuss moves: - Ask to swap one carb side for a protein side: “Can we replace a bowl of rice with extra dal/raita or paneer?” - Order a shared grilled/tandoori platter (chicken/fish/paneer kebab) to split. - Add a communal bowl of dal, curd/raita, or sprouts salad so everyone can take some. - Choose legume-based snacks (chana, rajma chaats, dhokla) over fried snacks. Polite phrasing keeps it non‑picky and places protein visibly on each plate; dal+rice gives complementary plant protein.
