Hey hon. course you wouldn't be better off having the chow mein. Honestly I put down about 12-14pp for chow mein because my healthy homemade one is 8pp and at my chinese the portions are huge (I only eat half the takeout box). The 9pp is for a "restaurant" portion which is a LOT smaller than a takeaway. Sometimes we have to judge these things for ourselves. Xx

Thats whole milk, maybe you could get it skimmed??
 
Oh yeah sorry I did work it out with skimmed first time. Its 7pp for the whole milk it seems? That doesnt sound right... Starbucks seems to be higher pp than Costa for their drinks? Must be a lot bigger drinks or something?!
