  • Stay off anything breaded or fried
    Try and limit the amount of rice you eat.
    Stay away from chips if they serve them.
    Veg is good
    Limit the amount of meat you eat and try and get stuff that isn't in a load of sauce, especially if it's something like sweet and sour

    Don't get desert.


    Top tip: Eat slowly. In 20 mins your brain will tell you you're full anyway.


    Also don't panic too much, just don't binge.
    I think I read that putting on 1lb of weight means eating 3,500kcals over your needs (someone correct me on the numbers) and a mahoosive chinese of bad stuff for me (and I *love* chinese so can pack it away) is I recon 2,000 cals so if you don't pig out and go 800 or 1,000 cals over or whatever it's not the end of the world. An extra hours worth of time on an elliptical that week will wipe most of that off. Plus you could eat maybe 100cals less each day for the next 3-4 days to offset a good chunk of it too.


    I think ppl on here sometimes are too strict and the reality is you want to enjoy yourself and treat yourself once in a while!

    Just try not to go mad and make sure you don't get a taste for it in case you fall off the wagon.

    Fill up on the shrimp! That way, you get the protein *and* your money's worth!

    Ewwww. Never ever eat a chinese buffet. Ever. Check Health Dept inspections before you go. Almost every single one is ALWAYS on the verge of being shut down. Sorry I didn't help with your situation any.

    OMG! Yeah, I'm sure. Generalize much?

    Our city has more than a dozen Chinese buffets, and they actually have better health inspection scores than any of the "American" restaurants. I would eat at a Chinese restaurant before I would eat at just about any other restaurant. They have won awards from the health department. (at least the ones near me have)

    I always go around and fill most of my plate with vegetables - the local place has garlic and sesame green beans that are divine! - while I evaluate everything else there, then I go back around and get a couple of my favorite, non-fried items as side dishes. No rice.
