Lola’s Tips for Heart Healthy Chinese Food
Lola's Tips for Heart Healthy Chinese Food
Here are Lola Idad's tips for lowering fat and calories when you order food from a Chinese carryout restaurant.
Choose More Often
Choose Less Often
?? Steamed or grilled dishes, such as
steamed dumplings or grilled fish, instead of fried dishes.
?? Deep-fried dishes such as Kung Pao
Chicken, General Tso's Chicken, Mu Shu Pork, or fried egg rolls.
?? More vegetable dishes or dishes that
have large amounts of vegetables, such as beef with broccoli.
?? Steamed rice instead of fried
rice. (Steamed rice is lower in fat, cholesterol, and calories.)
?? Fried rice.
?? Dishes with heavy sauces, such as
coconut milk.
AND . . . .
?? Let the restaurant know your dietary needs, so they can suggest ways to meet
your needs, if possible.
?? On the day you are planning to order Chinese food, eat foods with less sodium
in your other meals and snacks. Many dishes from Chinese restaurants are very high in sodium.
?? You can cut down on the sodium in the Chinese food you order. Make sure the
restaurant does not use monosodium glutamate (MSG) in the dishes. MSG is high in sodium!
?? You can also cut down on sodium by using light soy sauce to season the food.
?? Instead of buffets, order healthy choices from the menu.
