It is advisable to consult a dietician and gather knowledge about the Indian food calories and then decide your meal. Eating high calorie food item is not recommended for the daily meal, but you can always relish them once in a month or so. 

If you get lured into trying fad foods, which you know contain loads of fats, then you can consume it once in a while, but in moderate quantity. But then after that you have to gear up yourself for doing a vigorous workout, so as to shed off those extra calories that have got stored in your body. 

It's all about maintaining a balance and you will never put on weight. If you've eaten more, so compensate it, by eating light food in the next meal and by working harder, while carrying out your workout. Keeping fit is in your hands, but all that is required is a sincere effort and then nothing can stop you from achieving success.
