chinese take out: i absolutely LOVE Chinese Take-Out. I have it at least once a month. But lately ive been looking at a bunch of diet plans in order to lose some weight. My only problem now is to cut down on my favorite fattening foods. Does my delicious monthly Chinese Take-Out dish have to go bye-bye? D=|||I wish I could eat Chinese food as often. I'ts not as fattening as say McDonald's, Domino's Popeye's or any other fast food place is. At least Chinese restaurants have a wide variety of vegetables. As long as you order your meal instead of fixing a go-plate off the bar it's better that way. Freshly cooked much better than food that' s been sitting in the same oil & what not for how ever long. If your worried, eat more of the vegetables & steamed or stir fried meat & less of the rice, noodles, & fried foods.|||Chinese food tends to be very fattening. If you get takeout, try to get it in a tray. When you move the food around there is a lot of oil and fat from the meats and what it was cooked in. That's why it tastes so good. If you're trying to diet a bit, I suggest eating some of the less fatty foods. Try the Beef and Broccoli combo with white rice. It's pretty healthy and very little fat is involved. Try to avoid fried rice and some of their noodles. Best of luck to you. OR better, go to a Chinese restaurant. An authentic one and ask to have it to go. Usually actual restaurants use a bit less fat and oil.|||First off...what you're eating is highly Americanized Chinese food. The gloppy, corn-starch-laden sauces are a dietary disaster. Go to China, and you won't recognise what you're eating there from what you get at home. Second...there are numerous regions of China; each one has very different cuisine. Same with most of Asia...each part of the country in question will have regional variations. As to what to eat...stay away from the gloppy sauces that have a ton of corn starch. Alternatively, look at Vietnamese...a simple bowl of pho noodles is an approachable and reasonable version of what Vietnamese eat (look for places where Vietnamese go to eat...a great jumping off spot). Hint: if you're in a restaurant serving Asian cuisine and the only people eating are caucasian, that's usually a pretty bad sign.|||Take-away Chinese food can be very healthy. Many menus are marked with "healthy options" or they can steam your dish instead of stir fry it. Avoid dishes that are deep-fried (like General Tso's chicken, Spicy Hot Beef, Sweet and Sour dishes where the pork or chicken is deep fried, shrimp toast etc) Opt for protein and veg dishes with simple sauces and you should be fairly safe.|||Not really. I mean if your ordering things like fried chicken on a stick or fried pork on a stick, or anything with a thick sauce then yes, because most of the sauces are high in calorie. And low on good things. I love their brocolli and beef. And I ask them to make it fresh for me with less sauce. Rice is excellent. Especially the brown that they generally use for fried.|||it really depends on what you get. If you want to make sure you are getting something that is ok look up the nutrition facts. also instead of white rice, get brown rice.|||Almost everything is deep fried, I'd say once a month would be alright,|||Chinese is VERY fattening. It is full of sugar!!|||Once a MONTH, your good. Eat up!|||Come on......are you serious???? Once a month splurge baby splurge.|||Yes.
