    EMERGENCY help needed please.... I forgot to bring dinner....

    .... and I can't leave work.... the only place that delivers later on is a Chinese place.... problem is that I am only on Day 4 of induction.... plus, I am diabetic, so at some point I am going to HAVE to eat. I don't get home for 6 more hours.

    What is "safe"?

    I don't ever eat Chinese, so I don't know if they have salads... or lettuce. I know you have to eat if you're diabetic so no skipping there. Don't the Chinese use lots of veggies. I would order something along those lines... lettuce, vegetables, cheese, meat. Make your own meal.

      You could order something like "Chicken and broccoli" or "beef and broccoli", etc. Beware that the brown sauces are usually loaded with sugar. I've been told that the clear oyster sauce in Moo Goo Gai Pan is a better option (chicken, veggies, clear sauce). If you ordered something else, have them put the sauce on the side. Good luck!

        I agree
        "BLANK" and broc is the safest bet
        the sauces are typically thickened, but if you skip the rice it'll be ok in a pinch.

          Thanks for the suggestions.... what do you think about this? I'll see if they will sell me just a big order of steamed broccoli, and to flavor it, I can pour a little egg drop soup over it?

          I know, I am strange, but it sounds REALLY good to me.

                  I had them steam some broccoli, saute a little garlic, and put it in a box.... then I ordered egg drop soup.... I then poured the soup over the broccoli. It was pretty good, but needed a "little something" more to amke it really good.....

                    maybe egg foo young...if you don't put the sauce on it would have worked as well.

                      The steamed chicken would have set that brocolli and egg drop soup off..........

                        Good solutions! Be careful with Chinese soups though - they tend to add thickeners....

                        beggars can't be choosers AND you stuck to the diet! Way to go!

                          That sounds good- I always thought egg drop was just egg and broth? I thought egg was the thickener? Does anyone know for sure, or does it depend on the place?

                          I love steamed shrimp and snow peas with the chinese hot sauce packets!

                            Most places use a little cornstarch for thickening.... Even when I have made it myself, I used cornstarch. Fortunately it doesn't take much.

                              Good for you for ordering something so healthy! That could have been an excuse for you to go off plan and you should be really proud of yourself! Next time I'm tempted I'm going to think of this!
