in Food and Nutrition
Going to dinner tomorrow night to PF Changs. Last time I was there was about 15 years ago when I didn't care about what I ate. Anyone have any good healthy suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

    The Cantonese Shrimp is the best. That's what I always get.

    Their nutrition is available so I'd definitely check it out. My only issue with their nutritional information is that it breaks down the calories for a serving size but doesn't tell you how many servings are in an order.

    At least last time I checked.

    I LOVE their spicy ground chicken and eggplant. Just look at the menu online and type in what looks good to you and then pick from those items that do the least damage.

    I LOVE the Buddha feast and coconut curry tofu, I generally pick off of the vegetarian side even though I'm not a vegetarian! and the double pan fried noodles (chicken) are great too, lots of veggies plus protein!

    Here is the web address for the nutritional info so you can see all the nutritional breakdowns for everything per serving:

    http://www.pfchangs.com/menu/nutritionalinfo.aspx

    Someone mentioned the Ground Chicken and Eggplant...was very good, however they no longer serve it (at least in my region).

    There are plenty of healthier options as long as you stick to 1 serving. So you have to be a good judge of what a portion is when looking at the plate.

    Good luck!! Enjoy

    Try the steamed vegetable dumplings. They are 45 calories each and 6 pieces come in an order for a total of 270 calories! Yummy!

    Don't eat the double pan fried noodles!! I work there and this is pretty much the worst thing you can order. TONS of sodium. I try not to eat there, but when I'm on a double and have to eat the food, I usually order the grilled or steamed salmon, or dumplings steamed (no sauce). Even the lettuce wraps aren't the greatest. It fools people because your eating it with lettuce, but it's not that good for you.

    Check out their website before you go, Nutrition facts are there. Just know that the numbers are per serving not per dish of food. When you order something it is 2-4 servings. I was shocked when I seen it and the sodium content is outrageous.

    Go to Dotties Weight Loss Zone (free site - very helpful) web page...click on restaurants. Click on PF Changs. Beware of portion sizes though, they can make a low cal meal into a high one if not careful
