I can eat chicken and broccoli forever

[packattack87]

As long as its the chinese kind. Anyone know how bad that brown sauce really is? Everywhere I seem to look it actually doesnt seem that bad calorie wise. Unfortunately I see conflicting results. Anyone got any inside info on this?

This could be a game changer for me brahs.

its pretty damn awful. Just make your own sauce made out of soy sauce, hot sauce, and spices etc...and get low sodium stuff because a drop of soy sauce has more salt than the atlantic.

Not a bad idea but im super lazy. MFP has it ranging from 100-250 calories for an entire cup of sauce. I mean im not drinking the stuff, throw out the pool at the end of the carton. Theres no way im eating a full cup of it ya know?

Hes talking about sodium, which doesnt contain calories. If you begin eating this all the time, you can have some serious health issues. Just regulate it, have it prob once every 2 days or so...no reason to die to become lean.

this. I buy rotisserie chicken though, and put a slice of melted cheese on the brocoli though. Can eat this everyday and still taste good as fuk, ill change out the hot sauces or spices also.

brb coworkers and family asking me if I dont get tired out eating the same thing everyday

I add a couple of drops of Tapatio or Chipotle to a serving of ketchup and use that for flavor over my steamed vegetables. Not exactly Asian but it gives it the right amount of spice and it's relatively guilt free. It goes really well with broccoli.

When I get Chinese takeout I usually order: Chicken & Broccoli Broccoli & Garlic Sauce Shrimp & Broccoli
I love their broccoli. If you do ever give a crack at the cooking heres a recipe i used:

Vegetables

1 head of broccoli, cut up into florets
1 small green pepper - cut up into small slices
3/4 cup sugar snap peas - chopped into thirds
For the chicken marinade
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts - cut up into bite size pieces
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the sauce
1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 cloves garlic - minced
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon rice cooking wine
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Additionally
1 tablespoon vegetable oil to fry in
1/2 cup water

Instructions
Mix your marinade ingredients in a bowl - add your bite size chicken pieces and stir. Set aside.
Mix your sauce ingredients in a bowl - set aside.
Steam broccoli for 3 minutes, drain - set aside.
Heat up 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken, it's marinade and 1/2 of the sauce mixture. Keep cooking until chicken is fully cooked.
Add steamed broccoli, sugar snap peas, green pepper and remaining sauce with 1/2 cup water.
Cook for about 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens up.

Serve and enjoy!

Never too early to start eating right, but if your blood pressure is OK and your are not getting bloated from the sodium, you probably don't need to worry.

Salts fine for most people, its not bad for you despite the hype.

[sm1zzle]

Need more information than just the color of the sauce.

But... you can rest assured that if it comes from a store/restaurant it's probably backed with sodium.. maybe as much as 1000mg

I would just increase potassium/water intake if you're going to continue eating high amounts of sodium.
Also, regular health checks.
