Chinese food and carbs?

[GetBigger]

Does the meat at chinese restaurants contain any carbs? Just wondering if the msg or other additives increases carbs?

 

[gymtime]

The meat in itself doesn't. You want to watch for breaded chicken, which is used a lot in chinese food. Also, most of the sauces are loaded with carbs.

for example

Sesame Chicken
Orange Chicken
General Tso Chicken
Crunchy Chicken
Sweet and Sour Chicken

Are the ones bread with paste or something but mad yummy

[KEL]

most American-Chinese entrees (this includes meat) are thickened with cornstarch and water
