Chinese Food: a gift from the gods

metalmeow1 · March 2017

I love this app. I love the MFP community. I've only been here 2 weeks, but I've learned so much. I wish I'd had this resource years ago when I first lost weight (because I put it back on...)

I can eat whatever I want and no guilt this time! I'm still losing 1.5-2lbs a week. So thanks guys! Best part, is the changes I've learned and implemented are sustainable.

*ahem* Anyway! I've had Chinese food (my absolute favorite food) twice in 3 weeks and it hasn't impacted my progress... I'm surprised, elated, and wondering if anyone else here loves Chinese food as much as me??

Love it, but I'm scared to death of the calories and salt.
Rice, noodles, wontons, all super high in cals and carbs.
I could eat it every week

I love Chinese food as well! I stick to not eating the rice if I get it though, wontons are my favorite, ugh! All in moderation.

Homemade can be pretty good to. I made up a large amount of stir fry last night where 500g was 420 kcal minus rice.

I'd like to get Chinese takeaway more but I don't like eating without nutritional information.

I live 15 miles from the town where I grew up - it has a huge Chinese population. I can get the good stuff whenever I go over to visit my mom, aunts and uncle.

gf and I get Chinese takeout once a week or so and watch a show. It's fantastic, some of my favorite stuff once you find a good place. Pork-fried rice and some kind of meat and broccoli. I lucked out, in that the best place in the area is directly around the corner from my first apartment here in the city, so I stumbled into greatness.

I love chinese, but when I go, I feel like the containers are too small. I could probably eat a whole bucket and still want more (oh dear). There's no pleasing some people...
