My 4 year old boy loooooooooves sesame chicken and ham fried rice, and we have a little extra cash .. so we were thinking of suprising him with it .. but I can't find the nutrition information anywhere? So can someone help me?

What is the calories and everything for:

Ham Fried Rice
Sesame Chicken

Any help appreciated!

    I'm pretty sure you could make both pretty easily, if you're a decent cook. Otherwise, no idea!!
  • Thanks for trying to help!

    I am talking about the fine chinese of Hunan Village :)

    Maybe I'll just let him have it, and i'll eat a ..sugar packet or two ..

    There are entries on the MFP database for both Pork Fried Rice and Sesame Chicken. They aren't restaurant specific, but I bet they could give an okay estimate.

    I agree. Keep your portions decent. Maybe even fill up on some veggies or something.

    Just an estimate...
    the sesame chicken for 1 cup is around 359 calories.
    Just plain cooked rice is around 242 calories for 1 cup. Add in oil, ham, egg and other stuffs that they put in. You do the math.

    There is Chinese fried rice and sesame chicken in the system.......I use them just to get an idea when I order chinese....and the figures are usualy close to the ones listed

    The whole meal would run you around 600+ calories....if you stay to only a cup of rice and cup of chicken or so

    Goodluck......

    I've been google searching & first off Hunan doesn't really have a website or list Nutritional Facts where I did find them, which is never a good sign. What I did find for traditional chinese restaurant fare was not good, Sesame chicken (no idea of size or anything was listed at a whopping 1700+ calories, don't forget the MSG or any sodium content is usually off the scales too. Restaurant Chinese food is all calorie & sodium laden no matter what you get, even those dried noodles are super high in calories.

    Why not get a combo plate of something between you & hubby then you can eat a smaller portion. Tomorrow is another day, eat light & drink lots of water to flush out your system.

    IDK about premade, but I have an awesome homemade recipe if you want it. :smile:
  • I made it work, I had about a 1/2 cup of rice, and about 4 little tiny pieces of the sesame chicken. I don't think it was too bad, and I sure enjoyed it! :)

    Good for you!!! everything in moderation!! Just drink a ton of water, last time I ate Chinese food, I magically "gained" a pound overnight. It was water retention from the extra sodium and was gone a day or 2 later, but still discouraging
