Chinese Food?

My family wants Chinese food for dinner tonight.  Rather than eat something completely different (which is what I usually do), I'm going to join them and attempt to eat only things on plan.  The plan is to eat only the following:
  • Broccoli Chicken, 1 cup for 2 points
  • Shrimp Foo Young, 1 patty for 4 points (or only 2 points for 1/2 a patty)
  • Egg Flower Soup, 1 cup for 1 point
This is the plan.  This is my 7 point dinner.  This sounds very yummy and I better leave to go pick it up.  I'll write again after dinner and we'll see if I was able to stick to the plan.  (fingers crossed)


After Dinner
This is what I actually had for dinner:
  • 2 1/2 cups of Broccoli Chicken - 5 points
  • 1/2 patty of Shrimp Foo Young - 2 points
  • 1 cup egg flower soup - 1 point
  • 1 cup nonfat milk - 2 points
Total points for dinner:  10*

*Food was way too good.  I have a hard time believing the points are right.  I got the point values from the WW Dining Out Companion.  I don't feel overly stuffed though like I usually do after Chinese food.  I feel satisfied.  Food was very salty though which can't be a good thing.

So which Chinese restaurant did you go to? You did awesome! I just can't stay that good while eating Chinese. It's something I have to specifically save my WP's for.

P.S. And totally off topic, Brodhi is such a cute name!

We just ordered out from a little restaurant around here called Chinese Garden.

Oh, and my baby's name is Bodhi (no 'r'). But thank you.
