WW - Chinese food?

Ugh I got roped into eating Chinese food tonight and unfortunately, once I got their, my will power bounced out.

So I had a couple of items I probably wasnt supposed to have...

my question is... how do I calculate the points?

I found crab rangoon, and the portion size... luckily they make them super small where i went...

sauteed green beans and broccoli was easy to find..

but now i cant find the coconut chicken. it's not fried, but the sauce its in was creamy, so im sure it cant be good.

any help on where i can find these points? I dont even know what the sauce is made of so i cant do it by ingredients.

thanks in advance

BACK ON THE WAGON TOMORROW!

hmm, maybe look on DWLZ.com or Calorieking.com to see if general chinese food dishes are labeled w/ approx fat and calories?

OOH OOH OOH!!! FH is doing a combo of Nutrasystem and WW points on the two off days he gets a week. . .I'm doing straight WW, and this is AWESOME. I'm totally saving it into my notebook!!! FH would eat Chinese food every day if he could, but I get to stop him. . .lol.

Now, are these points without the sauces? I thought a pint of steamed shrimp and broccoli was 2 points without the sauce.

Re: WW - Chinese food?

One thing I love to do when I get chinese food is to get steamed chicken or shrimp (usually in the 'diet' section) and then get it with steamed veggies on the side with garlic sauce - with a 1/2 cup of brown rice is usually 7 points and I feel like I was bad and got to dig into a big bowl of chinese!!!

Do you do the online WW thing... I found anything from 6-10 points. I'd count high for that, just in case.

Yeah thats how I found a lot of the stuff. I found the crab rangoon, sauteed string beans, and broccoli. I was just missing the coconut chicken.

Re: WW - Chinese food?

I always get steamed chicken and mixed veggies with the brown rice. Even before WW. It is so good that you would think you were eating something bad. And I know the points are low. It is my indulgence.
But last night FH got Wendy's and I lost it and had it. I havnt had that stuff in almost 7 weeks. I feel so bad. Ugh...and to top it off I twisted my ankle last night and missed my kickboxing class. Lol...I am going to calss today whether my ankle hurts or not...lol.
