But since noodles are the signature ingredient of lo mein, you'll just have to accept that the risk of obesity and heart disease are also signature ingredients. The usual advice in these circumstances would be to do yourself a favor and swap out the oily, salty noodles for a side of steamed rice. A standard serving of lo mein with your choice of meat can have as much as 1,100 calories, and although there will be a decent amount of protein in there as well, most of the calories come from the carb-heavy noodles and fat, which, assuming you're not a sumo wrestler, will do nothing good for your waistline. But order lo mein in an Americanized takeaway restaurant and you'll get something not far removed from the garbage, nutritionally speaking.
Order this dish in a traditional Cantonese restaurant and you will be presented with something not far removed from wonton soup and not souper terrible for you. Lo mein is a popular takeout dish that contains noodles with vegetables, meat, and a soy-based sauce. Instead judge it by the really big font, the preponderance of pictures, and the greasy fingerprints on every single page. If lemon chicken were a book, you definitely shouldn't judge it by its cover, nor by its first chapter. Its inclusion in the recipe actually helps to disguise the sweet flavors a bit. And the lemon isn't just lending its name to an unhealthy dish. Farm out the manufacturing to a third party that could care less about your personal health goals, and the numbers go nowhere but up, topping out in the region of 1,500 calories and 75 grams of fat. And those are the healthier homemade versions. Check out any recipe for lemon chicken and you'll notice large quantities of oil, sugar, and soy sauce (flavored sodium, by another name), involved in its production. (We would have noticed the grease floating in our cocktails.) A more accurate name for lemon chicken would be "battered fried chicken in lemony sugar sauce," but it just doesn't have the same ring to it.
After all, chicken is pretty healthy, and lemons aren't exactly famous for their excessive calorie contributions. You might think lemon chicken doesn't sound too bad. But since we all know that's effectively impossible, it's probably best to just avoid temptation altogether. If you just have to have egg rolls with your next Chinese meal, try to hold yourself to just one.
On the plus side, egg rolls do typically contain a few grams of protein, which is nice, but since it mostly comes from cheap meat that also contributes to the 11 grams of fat a typical deep-fried egg roll likes to keep around, it hardly makes a convincing case for eating more. but they're never eaten on their own, and how many people can just eat one? So start a meal with a couple (ahem, three) egg rolls and you've almost guaranteed that your meal will get filed in the regret column of your morning-after checklist. Taken on its own, a single egg roll is just a 222-calorie treat. Egg rolls seem so insignificant, just a delicious little crispy packet that only takes a couple of bites to consume, but therein lies the problem.
Egg rolls can be just a tasty snack, but more often they play the role of doorman to the calorie palace that is your Chinese meal.
