Thread: Chinese food- can someone please help !!!!

Well im having a chinese with a friend tonight and i've been having a look at the eating out guide and im very confused and need help!
Am i right that the points are for the whole dish, so if we were to share say 'egg fried rice' it'd be 5 points? And if i had half a portion of 'chicken balls' it'd be 5 points? If so this is far better than i ever imagined! The thought of having a chinese whilst still dieting baffles me. But if these points are correct then it's ok? And how can a whole pot of s+s sauce only be 3 points? I just wanna check before i eat it all and ruin my diet!!!
Thanks in advance xxx

Thats right pet!!!

(great, isnt it - I manage to eat an entire 9.5 inch Dominos pizza with 2 garlic and herb dips every Friday night and have still managed to loose 6 stone - he he! )

Enjoy your meal!! (completely guilt free!! xx)

wow congratulations 6 stone thats such an achievement. I will indeed enjoy my chinese tonight and now i wont need to feel guilty after eating it!
Hmmm so which pizza do you have at domino's and how many points is it?xxx

just a quickie---- sweet and sour chicken balls do the points inc the sauce or just the balls??? confused.com lol

thank you pet! well its 6 stone 4lbs to date but I still have another 1 stone 3 to go

I know that the average portion of chicken balls WITH sweet and sour sauce is 10 (so obviously 5 if you're sharing) but not sure what they are on their own. Sorry not more help x

The Dominos I have is the small (9.5 inches) which has 6 slices - it's the chicken feast one, at 2.5 points per slice so in total its 15 points.

I know I'm crazy but I always have 2 garlic and herb dips with it cos I love it so much and they are 3 points each!!! (more than the slice!!!!!!) so, that brings it to 21 points. completely worth it though!!

I save for it during the week though, Im on 20 points a day so I usually only have to save around 8 points that week as I only eat 7 on the day I'm having my pizza.

I know what you mean about getting your head around eating this sort of food and still loosing weight - I found that really hard to get my head around!!, but I'm not complaining!!

If anyone asks, I lost the weight eating Dominos pizzas and crunchies!! he he! x

Hope you enjoy your Chinese tonight Laurie, I have had many a chinese whilst on this diet!
Nikki, that domino's combi sounds lush lush lush....well done you for sticking with that dip you love too and working it into the points....x

Morning, I'm having chinese today to. I've saved up 27 points and I am taking my kids to the pictures and McDonalds too!. I'm going to have a chicken nuggett happy meal which I think is 7 (with diet coke) and tonight i'm going to have beef in black bean sauce - according to the Eating Out Guide is 7 - and plain chow mein. I'm not sure about the point vale of this as it is not actually plain boiled noodles but stir fried ones with bean sprouts - think i'll count it at 10??.

yum yum,enjoyxx
