My 'trick' is to have a starter and side dish, but have them brought together instead of a main course. You get a platefull for a fraction of the points. ( sheek kebab and mushroom bajee for example is 9 points as apposed to about 18 for a balti) have a look on the eating out guide at the top of the ww section, then click on the link to 'My long and bumpy journey' there is loads of info on there.
Oh yeah and enjoy yourself!!
