Americanized Chinese food is hard to do. But if you stick with meats and veggies with no sauces (or are careful with what goes in them) then I'd think about any stirfry is ok.

I try to stick with beef and snow peas or beef and broccoli when I go to a Chinese restaurant.

I saute cut up pieces of beef, chicken, pork, scallops or shrimp with one or two veggies including cut up green peppers, red peppers, brocolli, asparagus, snow peas, string beans, zuchini ... my recent favorite is asparagus, red pepper and shrimp or chicken.

I stir fry the meat and add the veggies with a little olive oil and red hot pepper flakes and some minced fresh ginger. It's yummy and I serve it to my non-Atkins friends and family, too.

Whenever I go out for Chinese, I stick to the Chicken and Broccoli, or the Beef and Broccoli...DELICIOUS!!! :yes

I make stir-fries with meat and veggies. I like to use ground chicken alot. I find that if I use a little sesame oil (Asians's use it more as a condiment and not to cook with...it's very full flavored so you don't need but a little drizzle ) and oyster sauce mixed in with the stir fry, it tastes more authentic. I buy the oyster sauce at an Asian market down the street. It's good....doesn't taste like oysters at all...just a nice full Asian flavor. Oyster sauce has less than one carb and no sugars.

if you like spicy, I would suggest Thai Roasted Chili paste. It's about 2 carbs per tablespoon, but gives fab flavor and would really only add about half a carb to a serving for four people. Its got a nice smoky flavor that seems to add depth to your dish.

I also used this today to make ridculously wonderful chili mayo. It's got quite a kick, but you can adjust to your own liking.

I would pick whatever meat I'm in the mood for, veggies, etc and stir in while stir frying. Has a wonderful aroma, too. It was in the "ethnic" grocery aisle and I think the brand name is Thai Kitchen.

This would also be good used as a flavoring in soup. Gonna have to try that soon.

Wow, I think I'm finally getting the hang of this place. I did a search on "beef with broccoli" to see if anyone had asked about what I had for dinner tonight.

I was in such a rush and not presented with many options at the university's food court as I swished from Wendy's to Sbarro's to everything in between. I spent about 15 minutes making a decision, and ended up with beef and broccoli from Mark Pi's, and while I know it's not the bestest thing, I think I did well. I tried to drip off as much sauce as I could while eating and then drank an additional 30 oz of water. It wasn't as much food as I would have hoped, but it tided me over.

Anyone know how to add this into Fitday? My "beef with broccoli" searches aren't working there.

I got to sneak a good cup and a half of egg salad from my office kicthen after I got back. I would have made something at home, but I have blood tests at 9 am tomorrow and it would have been irresponsible to eat any later than when I got back to work (can't eat/drink 12 hours before).

So, in the grand scheme of things, I think it looks like I made a good decision. Without the beef and broccoli, I was at 16 carbs and 5 fiber, so I
I'm not feeling too bad about it.

I'll let everyone know my test results in the AM.

Thanks everyone for being so helpful, considerate, and welcoming. I truly feel like I've found a home here with people who understand my WOE and respect my daily ups and downs.

Sometimes you can ask that the sauces are not made with starches or sugar. Or at least sugar I don't even miss the sugar in the taste.

next alittle olive oil, if u dun wanna use oil then
non-stick pan fry minced meat ( any like pork/beef/chicken) with scallions/onions alittle soysauce and pepper and serve on top of tofu its healthy great and carbo free

another is panfry shitake mushrooms with oyster sauce (its really yummie)
