    They're not exactly dumplings, BUT I think you'd like the Chicken Shu Mai from Trader Joe's. They're low cal and delicious.

    Moderation, moderation. moderation... If you love dumplings go for the steamed ones instead of the fried ones. If you like soup split a serving and eat a small bowl. It's okay to splurge every once in awhile just be accountable for your actions and eat nutritiously on the other meals.

    I also love hot and sour soup... I love a good splurge meal when I've worked out and burned tons of calories... maybe try having it only on those days as a treat!

    Also, I second the dumplings from TJ's. They are amazing!
