I am unfortunately/fortunately going out to lunch at a chinese food buffet on thursday. Any ideas as to how I can limit my calorie intake? Does anyone know what the best thing to eat at the buffet is? Thank you!

    Veggies and stay away from FRIED. That should help a ton. Hopefully others have good tips for you...that trip would be danger for me.

    Oh...I do go to PHO (soup) sometimes and found that a bowl of chicken pho is not bad on calories. I'm sure the sodium is HORRIBLE, but eh...can't have it all sometimes. Maybe they have some soup options at the buffet.

    They usually have many veggies to choose from.
    Stay away from anything that has thick sauces.
    Go for anything that's STEAMED.
    :)
    You'll be fine :)

    :flowerforyou: I was just going to post this before the weekend, My parents invited me for Lunch/ Dinner on Sunday for a Chinese Buffett aswell, I am so going for soups, and some fresh fruits and salads, :noway: Stay away from the Fried Rice I hear it has many cals. I prefer white rice, Especially Steamed White Rice, I heard it's only 80 cals for a 1/2 cup !! I love fresh sea food sometimes they have these fresh boiled shrimps you just have to pill them, but that's something I like ! Good luck to your lunch and if you cheat a little, just make it your Cheating or a Splurg day, I have one a week ! :drinker: Drink lots of water with your meal, and ask for Hot Tea if you like Green Tea, It's so good for your body, soul !!!! :drinker: :drinker:

    the awnser to this depends on what type of diet you are on. low carb, low cal ect. I would save your free day for christmas!! on a low cal go with the unfried seefood coctail shrimp, clams, crablegs, muscles,fresh fruit, salmon,even the broccoli beef would be a good choice. stay away from that DELICIOUS:love: crab ragoon mmm and the noodles are verry hi call also, you can still eat well just eat smart... good luck
