There’s nothing like curling up with some Netflix and Chinese takeout, amiright? “Chinese food is a classic comfort food because it’s super-greasy, super-delicious, and is found all over the country in cities big and small,” says Isabel Smith, R.D., a New York City-based celebrity dietitian and fitness expert. “Also, the menus don’t tend to differ, so you almost always know what you’re getting into.”
The obvious downside: It makes us feel like crap afterwards. “Chinese food is often overloaded with chemicals, salt, and highly processed ingredients like MSG, which is added to enhance flavor,” says Smith. In addition, fried foods (like those dumplings you love so dearly) may increase the likelihood of acid reflux and leave you feeling sluggish. But don’t put down your chopsticks so fast. These healthier, nutritionist-approved options won’t leave you lying on the couch with a hot water bag on your belly.
