It's water retention from the sodium and MSG. Drink tonnes of water and you'll be fine in a couple of days.0

ditto the sodium. It's a KILLER in chinese food. I opt to make mine at home and reduce the sodium. When I feel I must have it...0

Yea, I'm with the comment above. its water retention. Sometimes, when I eat things that are atypical from my regular routine, like a burger, fried shrimp, real ice cream, etc. like once a week, I will drop quicker because (i think) it shocks my system. Or this was what I was told. But when I have eaten extremely salty foods, it has the opposite effect and i am all bloated in the morning. Don't be discouraged, its one meal, one day, out of many to come. That scale will change in no time! Best of luck!0

Chinese food has CRAZY sodium...I've pretty much given it up at this point =( You're probably just retaining water...stay hydrated and you should see the pounds fall off0

God what a difference one meal can make . And I only ate 1/3 of the order. How long does it take to loose? The bloat is unreal!0

I went to a Chinese buffet on Sunday... I'm still feeling the effects !0

I ate a huge takeout container of rice and sweet and sour chicken last night...scale was up 1 lb! Hoping it falls off soon cause I like seeing that lower number.0
