Chinese Food

[LynRN 294]

So we got Chinese food for dinner and I had shrimp egg foo young with 2 tablespoons of gravy. I weighed it and it came out to 166 calories in MFP. It had lots of grease (I blotted with paper towels like crazy) so this makes me nervous that MFP could be wrong. I ate it and tolerated it fine and it seemed like a good choice (according to MFP) as it is low calorie, high Protein and low carb. I don't know, though. When I make an omelet there's never that much grease, What do you guys think? I already feel like a slow loser and I don't want to sabotage myself.

Yes watch the grease..most of us have trouble with greasy foods....

I can't eat Chinese food it does not agree with me at all...It used to be my favorite...Oh well I think it is the Soya sauce and the greasiness of the food...

Thanks. So far so good tolerating it. According, to MFP, it had 12g of fat which didn't blow my fat budget for the day. I'm just hoping that with all the blotting, it truly was in that ballpark. I just don't get it. food can be cooked in oil, but it doesn't have to be greasy. I don't fry much anymore, obviously, but when I did, I made sure that my food wasn't sitting in a puddle of oil. It's unappetizing, to say the least. I'm a little annoyed , in case you couldn't tell, because I thought I was making a good choice. Now, I'm not so sure.

You will learn we all do..you will think you are making good choices and find out that others on here think it is a trigger down to doom....You will find your way just like everyone else does....Keep Protein first and for most followed by veggies, fruit and carbs last.. You do need some fats so don't think you don't..But not as much as we think we need.....Keep stretching your experience with food and seek out new recipes to make it interesting..There is a forum on here with some great recipes..you might like some of them...K
