Does anyone like take out chinese?

in 2nd Trimester

I LOVE chinese food but have avoided it all my first tri since the high sodium wasn't very appealing.

Now I am wanting some lo mein noodles, and beef & broccoli.


Anyone else really want chinese food now?

    YES!  Although, I can't find a decent place in LA.  I haven't had Chinese in about 2 years.  I kid you not.  Eat some for me!

    I love Chinese! I have always enjoyed asian foods more than any other, but during this pregnancy it seems to be all that I crave! I either want Hibachi, Korean, or Mandarin All The Time!!! LOL

    And, unfortunately, there are no Japanese restaurants that  like here in Monterey, CA. Although, there are some Very Good Korean and Chinese restaurants. I hope HAwaii has better Japanese food!

    OK so I always get kind of embarrassed when I get buffett take out, because I FILL my styrofoam takeout box. It's always super heavy and I never let them bag it for me because I am afraid they will think Im nuts for it being so heavy. LOL Its enough to feed 2 people WELL, but I usually eat on it for dinner, and then reheat for lunch/dinner the next day..

    *feels ashamed* LOL

    So I guess chinese food is totally fine during pregnancy then? I just worried about the whole MSG thing, since I know ages ago chinese food places used to use A LOT of MSG. And MSG is bad (though I don't know what it really is....lol)

    OOOOH honey chicken sound goooood.

    We're actually ordering Chinese TONIGHT! I would kill for an egg roll right now and I NEVER eat them (or anything else greasy & fried) lol  You just can't deny your pregnant cravings girls!

    From what I've seen, they'll put "No MSG" on their menus if that's the case.

    the menu from the one that delivers here specifically says "No MSG"... but I love their chinese and we eat it at least every 1-2 weeks, especially since I don't feel like cooking these days.

    Ive been eating at home for weeks now, and being GOOD. Soo I wanna splurge a little. Plus, beef and broccoli can't be that unhealthy. I am on a NO MEAT phase, I cant stand meat....so it'd be good to get some meat in me, even if its chinese food.

    I just ordered some and was terribly disappointed. Crying It tasted so greasy and icky and yet I ate it all anyway.

    I have craved egg rolls since the beginning of my pregnancy.  Sadly, DH and I have gone to Chinese about once a week. The waitress/owner now knows us by name, and knows exactly what we want (drinks and all)... She has even started making vegatarian potstickers just for me!! She rocks!  So, yes. I love Chinese!

    My favorite take out!!  It's a bit expensive here in Germany so we only get it like once or twice a month.  When I was pregnant living in NY I ate it almost daily lol.
