Chinese Takeout Macro Ordering
Chinese takeout macro ordering favors steamed proteins and veg-heavy stir-fries with controlled rice—avoiding sugar-fried combos and sauce floods.
Chinese takeout macro ordering picks steamed dishes, moo shu vegetables with extra protein, broth soups, and stir-fries with sauce on the side—limiting General Tso, orange chicken, and egg rolls that hide sugar and fry oil in the name. White rice is easy to over-portion; ask for half rice or extra vegetables.
Sodium runs high; hydrate and balance the rest of the day.
Common questions
-
Is steamed really bland at Chinese takeout?
Ask for ginger, garlic, chili on the side, or light sauce. Steamed plus controlled sauce beats glossy fried entrees that list lean protein in the title.
