    This thread has now put the thought of crab rangoons into my head. I may not be able to stop thinking about them until I get my fix now THANNNNKKS :P

    Stick to vegetable plates, small portions. No matter what you get from Chinese food places it's usually greasy and bad for you so just keep your portions small, enjoy it and drink lots of water!

    The sodium is a killer!

    I had Panda Express last weekend and paid for it for three days. I think I'll skip chinese for a while.

    I had scallops with asparagus and carrot plus white rice last time. I don't think it was that bad at all, calorie-wise.

    Ok so I am actually assistand manager to a chinese restaurant/takeaway so ya know I kinda know what REALLY goes on in the kitchen and well.....basically your screwed!!

    Yes, have a couple of spoons of boiled rice maybe a splash of hot and sour soup but generally it is ALL ram packed with oil, sodium, msg and sugar. Sorry if I've put a dampener on things but you'd be better off buying from a supermarket and making your own at least that way you can assess the damage you are doing to your diet directly.

    Eeek

    I think im gonna have the kung pao chicken or shrimp with steamed vegetables and take the calorie hit. I will get a good workout that morning in. Thanks for the heads up


    If you can get stuff steamed then stick to that...I'm uk so generally not a whole lot gets steamed :/ But even then the meats are usually pre soaked in msg and sodium with water. And watching the sauces get made up I can honestly say steer well clear of sweet and sour and curry. And for the love of god stay away from the prawn crackers haha
    Good luck :)
