    Unless you are eating at an authentic Chinese restaurant (believe me the food is MUCH different and NEVER sweet) you are going to be laden with calories in all of the dishes unless you stick with steamed chicken and veggies type dishes. "Chinese restaurants" in this country are catered towards the desire for sugary, fatty foods which are always calorie laden and never actual Chinese recipes. That being said, if you can find an authentic Chinese restaurant (we have one locally inside our Asian market) the food is amazing but you'd be amazed at the difference between what we eat over here and what they really eat over there!

    As for calorie estimates, for most entrees you're looking at at LEAST 400 cals for a SMALL portion of something the average person would order...that doesn't include your rice, egg roll or soup etc
