hey guys, how bad is it to eat chinese food? I am really good with my diet, but i do eat chinese food a lot (since there is a chinese foot place right next to where I work). Anyway, I have NO IDEA about the nutritional facts on it. Does anyone know? I Know this is quite a broad topic but take your basic sesame chicken? If anyone knows that would be awesome, thanks.
 
not to mention it's breaded and deep fried in grease. The rice they use is not good for you either. If you are gonna continue to eat chinese stay away from anything breaded and ask for plain white rice instead of the fried rice. Try to find something from there with non-breaded chicken/pork/steak and steamed vegetables.
 
I would stay away from it too. Too much sodium and MSG which on a cycle would only increase the chances of high blood pressure. After you get to the actual chicken under the breading there isn't really that much protein.
 
too be honest.....i wouldnt be taking your diet that seriously unless you were a professional

No MSG for you! Ever see a chinaman over 150?
theres no muscle in that food...just sodium and worse
