"I eat Chinese food and I'm hungry again in 30 minutes"

[SAWYER]

How is Chinese any less filling than anything else? It has beef and chicken on the bar among other things. How could chicken/beef at a Chinese place be any less filling than chicken or beef at a different type restaurant? Is this just one of those things people hear everyone else say and repeat?

Chinese food makes ME full. Me and General Tso are good buds

 

[darkxshade]

I've never heard this.

 

[clamum]

Yeah, doesn't really seem like it makes much sense. Maybe they should eat moar next time?

 

[Pheran]

I think I've heard that somewhere before, but it's complete nonsense.

 

[Newbian]

Maybe because a majority of it is rice / noodles and only small amounts of actual meat in most cases.

I find eating a actual Chinese person keeps you full longer.

 

[Barfo]

It happens to me with Japanese, but only when I just eat sushi.

 

[waggy]

depends on how much rice you eat.

 

[bignateyk]

Because its mostly carbs. The same reason why you are hungry an hour after you eat a pound of pasta.

this. if i get a combo plate its half rice, if i make my own at the buffet its less than 1/3 rice and im fuller much longer.

 

[Hacp]

Eat more rice.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

thats how i feel too

not 30 min, but much much faster than if i eat a salad or other low carb/low sugar meal. the hunger is ravenous too, not just a little hungry

You have to eat chinese food for 30 minutes then you'll be set.

 

[racolvin]

BS The wife and I go to the local buffett place at lunch and we're still full come dinner time. Of course that has everything to do with what you actually put on your plate....

 

[coldmeat]

I hear that all the time and I think there is some truth to it.

Yeah this. For about 30 minutes. :laugh:

Last Sunday the girlfriend and I went out to an Asian buffet and my fortune cookie said: "You will be hungry again in 2 hours."

 

[SlitheryDee]

I find it to be true, although I never knew this was considered part of the "common knowledge". Not just rice and noodles either. I make chicken and vegetable stir-fry with as much as 1.5 lbs of chicken pretty often at home and it does the same thing. Stuff just doesn't take much digesting I guess.

 

[sandorski]

True for me, if I fail to eat much Rice, as others mentioned.

 

[tfcmasta97]

Ever eat dimsum? Most of it is shrimp cooked 1000 different ways.

Whenever I eat it, i get comfortably full but not stuffed, and by the time I get home im hungry enough to finish off the leftovers of what I had.

lots of steam-cooked / light meats, just thinking about it has me starved

 

[OCGuy]

When I eat out a chinese girl, I'm horny again 30 min later.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

I beat up a Chinese guy one day and 30 minutes later I wanted to beat up another.

 

[KeithTalent]

Whenever I eat Chinese I am usually full for quite a while, even with fast food Chinese, where I almost never get rice/noodles. If I go out for dim sum, I am usually stuffed for the entire day.
