Best thing to order from Chinese?

[Bluemonkeyspots]

Having friends round tonight and trying to not let people know I'm trying to lose weight (many failures, sarcastic friends etc)

What is the best thing to order so that I can order like everyone else? Not the biggest fan of noodles but if chow mein is the best I will try it. Was thinking maybe chicken and mushroom with a small bit of rice?

Not following ww/sw so don't have a book to refer to

Hmm, I'd probably go for something chicken or prawn_based with vegetables, in a sauce that doesn't sound too sweet. Chow-mein doesn't strike me as particularly diet-friendly, there are always masses of noodles and it can be quite greasy. But I could be wrong...

If possible maybe you could skip the rice and have a vegetable side? Then again, people always end up sharing rice so it's easy to take a very small portion (if you have the willpower!). Steamed or boiled would be better than fried.
