Chinese Food?

[**IP~LB** 279]

Gosh before LapBand I would have chinese delivery a few times a week. I did have take out the other day and ordered steamed chicken and carrots. It was actually very good, I did have mustard on the side to dip it in. My normal chinese delivery bill was 45-60 dollars, after lapband its 9.50........I am saving money left and right!

Good luck!

Just watch the salt and fat. Steamed sounds good.

Yum love Chinese food, I've eaten it about four times since being banded and I go for the stirfry chicken and vegetables. My nutritionist says if you want something just have a little bit. For me it's about Portion Control with everything even the not so good stuff and seven months out and scales still going down. And yes I've eaten the rice too. So whether you portion control or calorie count as long as you do that I don't see a problem.

You can always make your own and control what goes in it, the stir frys are healthy, lots of recipes on the net and cooking Chinese food is very quick and easy.

tonight I made Trader Joe's chicken teriyarki (spelled so wrong). First I stir fried pea pods, Water chestnuts and almonds cooked in an Asian sauce,then added the cooked chicken and poured it all onto brown rice. It was super!!
