And the Chinese food answer is...

The fried pork dumplings have the least amount of calories and fat (versus the eggplant in garlic sauce or stir-fried greens.

According to www.self.com, "Believe it or not, the fried pork dumplings are your best bet at 560 calories. The stir-fried greens clock in at 900, while the eggplant in garlic sauce contains a whopping 1,000 calories. While the eggplant and greens dishes are dripping in oil calories, entrees packed with veggies do have benefits—they are fiber and vitamin-rich, as long as you don't devour the entire order. Before you chow down, scoop half onto a plate and save the rest for tomorrow's lunch, says Jayne Hurley, senior nutritionist for the Center for Science in the Public Interest in Washington, D.C. Another trick: Grab the chopsticks! Forgoing the fork will force you to eat slower and slurp down less calorie-laden sauce. Whatever you do, says Hurley, 'steer clear of noodle dishes, which have fewer veggies and easily contain over 1,000 calories of white flour.' And if it's labeled 'breaded' or 'crispy,' give it the kiss-off."

Did you get it right???

Wow, I never would have guessed that. I would think that "fried" anything would have an insane number of cals compared to any veggie dish.

Actually, I just had takeout tonight haha. I had tofu and brocoli with brown sauce which I'm sure is also an insane # of cals =P

i am glad i have the dumplings when i am nyc. i wouldnt have guessed it if my life depended on it.
