- Q: i always order chicken noodle soup (but i throw out all the chicken) and mixed vegetables in a garlic sauce.is it unhealthy? lots of calories or fat? are there vitamins/minerals/nutrional value?
- A: It depends on whether you take out or eat in.Either way chinese food is one of the healthier options out there. Avoid deep-fried dishes, and go for fried vegetables and lean meats (for example, beef in black bean sauce with green peepers, and a side order of plain rice). Fried rice is delicious, but isn’t often too good for your waistline, so plain boiled rice or noodles are better choices.The meal you order is good. Skinless chicken isn’t especially calorific anyway, and the vegetables will be stir fried in garlic. This is good not only because stir-frying retains a great meany of the nutrients found in the vegetables, but also because garlic has excellent health properties. Be aware of MSG – it isn’t good for those on a low sodium diet. There are no other proven health issues with eating MSG though (though myths have circulated for years). Note also that soy sauce is high in salt, so go easy on it or try to find special low-sodium varieties.
