Obviously steamed dishes if they have them over anything with sauce BUT if you want something with sauce and are looking to go with something lighter I'd suggest Moo Goo Gai Pan. It's also one of the dishes that is typically lowest in carbs because the sauce is often not as thick as say chicken with broccoli.0

I just found this...hope it helps.

Chicken and broccoli - no rice!
I don't eat Chinese often at all, but when I was losing weight, this is the only Chinese I'd order. Still lost over 40lbs and didn't feel horrible afterward. The rice is the most unnecessary part of a takeout meal, honestly. Easy to fill up on.0 -
I always get broccoli, general tso's and noodles - I just don't eat a ton of it like they give you!
General Tso's is a terrible choice!!!!! The chicken is fried and the sauce is loaded with sugar and swimming in oil Plus it's loades with sodium and perhaps MSG if you care about such things
Many chinese restaurants have a diet section on the menu which features steamed chicken, shrimp and vegetables with a lowfat sauce on the side. Steamed vegetable dumplings are an excellent appetizer. If you want rice order brown instead of white (steamed not fried) which at least is a whole grain0 -
Chinese food is my lunchtime favorite. I used to go back for thirds at the buffet. Now I eat boiled shrimp, egg drop soup, bourbon chicken (or any chicken that isn't fried), and teriyaki chicken on a stick. I love the fried rice, but I leave it alone. I still eat more than I should, but I hit the bicycle when I get home from work to burn some of the extra calories.0

I hate low fat low calorie Chinese food, so I had to do what I had to do and leave it all alone. My mouth is watering now, reading these suggestions.0

The place we (used to) go to has Steamed Delight. It's beef, chicken, shrimp, carrot, bok choy, and lots of other veggies with a black bean sauce on the side. I used to order it all the time before my diet to share with my toddler. I still don't trust myself to order out, but that's what I would get.0

Thanks for all the awesome suggestions!!!0

Was just about to walk in the Chinese place when my co-worker wanted to eat at a outdoor grill, had salad with chicken instead... BUT I will know in the future what to order. Thanks peeps!0
