Have been advised by orthodontist to wear my new plastic retainer 24/7 even when eating. Will wearing it not stain it?

Getting my braces removed and my orthodontist has already been advising me to wear my plastic retainer 24/7, keep it in while eating and only remove it to clean it. I am also a big fan of curry and I'm afraid if I keep my retainer in while eating it will stain really bad. Please help???
