chinese restaurants and being hungry again after 2 hours

Yes!! Every time I eat Chinese food this happens to me. And there's almost no point in taking home leftovers because I have never been fond of reheated Chinese food. I do wonder what causes this though.

Gotta love MSG. I always get super thirsty too. It is all worth it. I will eat sesame chicken until the day I die.

That has happened to me before. I can go to a chinese restaurant and eat quite a bit of food and feel completely stuffed. Then, I can leave and go home and do nothing and then I'm hungry again later and pulling out the snack foods because I'm that hungry. I hate that it happens but what can you do? At least the food is good.

I never liked Chinese food but I had a couple friends who loved it so when I went somewhere with them thats is where they always wanted to eat so I learned how to choke down the chicken cashew meal but I was always still hungry as soon as we walked out the door and they were hungry an hour later.

hi wagster maybe it is the particular order you ate that leaves you hungry. I have always ate and ate, and felt too stuffed'for hours as it was so delicious. but then I usually get dishes with rice in them and rice does fill me up a lot plus all the gorgeous tasting veggies they throw in too. I dont know how chinese'fols who eat american food fare.
