If I make Chinese dishes i find portion control not to be an issue.... When I get Chinese.....
Is it the msg or that a restaurant uses a lot more oil and salt than I do (and I'm a salt lover!).
At the end of the day, if I overeat Chinese once every week or two, does it impact me? Not so all.....it balances out.
I'm guessing you don't add msg to your cooking, you mean in Chinese takeout or whatever- I wouldn't sweat the small stuff. You are already making tons of changes.
