Potluck dinner: build one plate that stays in your budget
A potluck plate can quietly climb past 1700 kcal when you take a little of everything. Build it with one carb, a half katori of the rich curry, and one shared sweet, and the same plate lands near 790.

One potluck dinner ruins your whole week of weight loss.

Mostly false. One big plate is a real spike, but it is one day. To actually gain one kilo of body fat, your body stores about 7700 kcal. A single dinner cannot undo a good week. Build a lighter plate and carry on the next day.
