What to order at a Chinese restaurant

Tracking tip: Search for a specific restaurant’s menu item first; if it’s not in the database, track a similar dish from a different restaurant.

1. Sip traditional hot tea between bites to help you slow down and practice mindful eating.

2. Getting takeout? Go 50-50 with cauliflower rice and white rice or zoodles and lo mein; when mixed with sauce, you’ll barely notice the swap.

3. In dishes like General Tso’s and sesame chicken, chicken is breaded and fried; ask for plain chicken breast instead.

4. Tofu can be a 0-Points swap or addition to any dish, just make sure it’s not fried, which is 6 Points per 3 oz—the same as fried chicken.

5. Toss a side of stir-fried or steamed veggies into your dish to bulk up a serving and feel extra satisfied.
