chinese take out: is this a healthy option for trying to lose weight|||Melimel, your order is definitely lower in calories than the average Chinese take out meal. You could certainly do worse, but unless you specify steamed, the chicken and string beans are stir fried in oil at a minimum and who knows what all is going on with the sauce. I would leave any sauce off altogether or ask that it be placed in a separate container on the side. (Note: Even the steamed veggies have corn starch in the water. That's why they are always so crisp.)|||Probably not as you haven't said whet else is going with the chicken and beans.|||no
