Go to newbie's questions up at the top and do a search for Chinese Food. There was a discussion about this just the other day. I think there are a few things you can eat.

My chinese staple is to get a meat and veggies dish w/ garlic sauce and specify no cornstarch. This will make the sauce a little runny, but still tastes great with less carbs.

You can also have egg foo yung (chinese omelette) but watch out for the gravy.

I love Chinese food too...what I enjoy is pork egg-foo-young (sp?). Eggs, onions, pork, sprouts, etc. just leave off the sauce.

Yes, as long as you tell the Chinese Restaurant - no starch, no sugar, no MSG.... My restaurant does this for me all the time.

Some dishes I have ordered - chicken chow-main, chicken or beef w/Broccoli, Chicken w/string beans, beef w/mushrooms, Jade Delight (green beans, broccoli, snow pea pods)..... and no rice!

The Chinese place by us offers beef skewers which also have a large piece of green pepper on them...

...plus they also offer chicken wings that are fried with no breading. I usually opt for all of the above and add stir fry beef, broccoli and onion or egg foo young (sans sauce).

Basically, your success at a Chinese restaurant depends on their willingness to prepare dishes for you without the sauces and starches.
