What if points can't be calculated?
 
My favorite restaurant doesn't have a nutritional menu... I have asked and they looked at me like I just grew another head. It's a mom and pop style Indian restaurant. It is not traditional Indian either and I can't find it in any of the cookbooks. The tradition they said was Mughali. I've never heard of it and apparently neither has most of the internet! (It's a real hidden jewel though... fabulous food.)

What do you suggest I do for counting this? I normally eat very, very light on days I plan to eat here. I'm alloted 32 points, and I leave 28 for the Indian. I don't know how else to do it.

Since you've eaten you can guestimate to the best of your ability how much of each ingredient is in there and figure the points. Once in a while being off a few points either way will not make or break your weight loss efforts.

BTW Mughali is a cuisine not a specific recipe:

and

may help you find a recipe that is close to help figure points

Some of the restaurant choices should be in the WW books (the extra ones you buy I think it's in both the Food Companion and Eating Out Guide). The WW site, may have a few more. There are also a few private sites where WW members have figured the points on their own and listed them (which you may have to take with a grain of salt).
