        They usually have some sort of stir-fried vegetable dish. Something called "Buddha's delight"?

        Boy, this is tough....egg drop soup?.....maybe beef and broccoli without the brown sauce?

          Take it from me, stay away from Chinese food is you want to play is safe. The sauces they cook their food in, even the oils, have sugar and some have flour or corn starch for thickening. I made the mistake of eating at PF Changs (which is to die for!) and had mongolian beef. I swelled up from all the sodium and gained 1 lb after the 3 lbs of water weight went away. PF Changs even has a low carb option where everything is still 15 carbs or more. I would be very careful with Chinese if you have to go there...I for one avoid it all together.

          Good luck and let us now if you find anything safe!

            Good to know, Kathi. I love PFChangs, but never go there when on Atkins. I avoid chinese food in general when on this woe because the asian foods I love all have brown sauce....which is full of sugar and other nasties.

              I eat at our local chinese restaraunt occasionally. I usually get something like egg foo young with no sugar, no starch, no rice. Egg drop soup is usually thickened, so I wouldn't eat that. I look for the items on the menu that are not breaded and then ask for the no sugar, no starches, no rice. They are good about it at my favorite place. Beef and broccoli is another favorite of mine.

                  I just ask for beef and broccoli with no added sugars/sauces, and use a wee bit of kikkomen

                    at most of the ones I go to they have a 'diet' section, which is essentially steamed chicken and veggies. I just add soy sauce. See if they can do something like that, if it isn't too late. ;-)

                      I would suggest duck with those scallion things that come with it. Trim the skin if it tastes too sweet. No duck sauce!
