There are plenty of ways to pack calories, fat, and sodium into Chinese food, but here's how to turn your order into a health-conscious meal.

With so many saucy dishes on most Chinese menus, this tip will take diligence in ordering. Sauce can pack a surprising number of calories, and is also aand added sugar. Limiting or skipping sauce in your meal can make a huge difference in its nutritional value. When ordering, you can ask for"light sauce" to reduce the calories and worrisome nutrients in your meal. Even better, ask for the sauce on the side so you can control how much you eat.

Thicker, stickier sauces like sweet and sour and sesame are going to be very calorie-dense, so limit those as much as possible. Stir fry sauce, however, is largely made up of soy sauce, making it a much lower-calorie option. Speaking of soy sauce, if you are adding some to a dish, choose the lower-sodium option. While this can still pack a significant amount of salt into your day, but it is an improvement compared to regular soy sauce.
