Answer:
Since I am Chinese..I can answer this question quite confidently. The food served in restaurants (whether you're in China, Hong Kong or the U.S.) is COMPLETELY different from what Chinese people eat at home. Home cooking is much lighter, stir-fried only with a small amount of oil with some broth added for moisture to avoid burning. Home cooking is more rustic, light and healthy. We almost NEVER eat what is served in restaurants. Eating out is more of a treat. If I were to serve you "traditional home cooking"...I think you'd be really surprised at how different it is. If we were to eat out like that all the time...we'd be over weight as well!
NOT ALL ARE DONT BE SO IGNORANT!
they eat camels hump
ma humps ma humps, luv my male lumps.
American chinese food is much more fattening than traditional Chinese food is. The food the Chinese eat in China is much different than what is served in the US.
Because you might just have fat genes, don't hate on them hate on your parents...
your generalising a bit here but the takeaway food and the food chinese people eat or not the same thing and its not about what you eat but how much and if you exercise
They don't eat as much as we do, nor do they have the additives we have.
Not all of them eat only the food that they serve in chinese restaurants. alot of them are vegitarians. they also eat rice alot =/.... and they dont eat many burgers,pizzas and other stuff like us americans =\.
Good Chinese food, is prepared and cooked with poly-unsaturated oils. Authentic Chinese food does not require the use of milk-fat ingredients such as cream, butter or cheese. Meat is used, but not in abundance, which makes it easy for those who love authentic Chinese food to avoid high levels of animal fat. Many believe that authentic Chinese food is really the ideal diet.
The chinese do not regularly eat what we consider "chinese food" They eat mostly rice, sauteed vegetables, chicken and the like. What they make for us here in the US, is basically just for us.
What a bloody good question......
I think its because they don't eat all the deep fried gear we eat a lot of dishes are made to suit our English pallet....
Most of there food is stewed or stir fried
woah there missy who you calling fat!! and actually i find that quite rude about the chinese as well jsut because the chinese food that you eat is full of salt does not mean that over in china it is not do your homework
Hello,
(Reply) Thats utterly ridiculous I've seen many many fat or overweight chinese people. You just havent been looking in the right places or looking hard enough. The chinese are now suffering from the same diseases of the affluent west as their culture is in a process of change, there economy is booming.
**Traditionally chinese people were thought to remain free of many of the health problems we in the west suffered from because they eat a diet rich in fish & soya products (like tofu or bean curd) & white rice. But as I have already said this state of affairs is changing.
**Possibly evolution & genetic factors as well as life style play a part in keeping chinese people slimmer but its not factually proven though.

Because we also eat Burger King, Wendy's, McDonalds, Fat Burger, Jack N The Box, KFC. Jared's getting fat again...he must be eating more Chinese.
OMG i so agree the you ...Maybe there not telling us something and they really want to get us fat...
they dont use vegetable fats or any oils when cooking their food. they only eat small portions and dont use many sauces like the restaurants over here. the food in china even in restaurants isnt remotely like it is in europe.
chinese food insnt as fattening as western food,also chinese eat little and often
Chinese Takeaway, use recipes developed by Chinese immigrants to the USA in the early 1880's. Unable to get the ingredients they used at home, they adapted Western foods.
Most of the sauces are made with sugar here, and are thick and gloppy, where as the Original dishes are made with watery sauces.
Also, the amount of processing a food has, means that it is absorbed fast or slowly into t he system. In the UK, most take-away meals have lots of added and processed ingredients, where as the average Chinese diner, eats a lot less meat, smaller portions, and no added sugars.
We also stuff our faces on lots of high protein foods, in-between take-away meals.
Not all people of the chinese culture are in fact skinny, however when they eat traditional chinese food they eat very small portions compared to the servings found in the US and Canada. Also much of what you find at a chinese restraunt is not in fact traditional food they eat everyday, they don't eat fried rice, more likely plain rice with no soya sauce and they don't deep fry their food like the stuff you see in restraunts.
Food from China is processed differently than in other countries, Chinese people use less oils in their foods and don't coat things in fatty sauces or grease, the process of the food is totally different in China.
The UK's version of the Chinese traditional meal, has somewhat been played with. The adding of salt, additives, makes them "tastier". But are extremely filling
If you go to china, or any similar countries, like Singapore, you'll find the meal really light, healthy and far more tastier than the UK's version.
It could be also something to do with that maybe Chinese people have a fast metabolism and small bone structure.
You don't see really small people get fat... its not common.
Major difference between what you 'think' is Chinese food and what really is Chinese food. Many dishes are made for Westerners taste - High in taste, salt, MSG and fat...
Their food varies from region to region. (Canton, Shandong, Fujian, Sichuan) Some are very healthy, some are not...
It's a conspiracy, they're fattening us up for the big harvest.
Chinese folks don't eat the stuff they serve us English tribes. Standard Chinese food you find in American and European areas are 'fixed up' for the tastes of those customers. The Chinese themselves traditionally eat a lot less meat and more vegetables and Plain rice. You won't find all the sweet-n-sour saucy **** on a Chinese plate eaten by a Chinese person that you would find on your own. I know that because I've been to China, and I know what they serve, in China, to Chinese customers. Even in American Chinese restaurants, the Chinese owners and worker eat real Chinese fixins. And that's why they stay so thin and healthy.
because they don't eat that slop like Panda Express, they use real chinese methods while cooking for themselves!
have you ever eaten it with chop sticks? you can't pick up as much of it as with a fork. plus its of their genetic makeup.
depends on how much they eat it. if americans eat it all the time, they would not be as fat, but they only eat it occasionally and more mcdonalds. chinese food has alot of veggies and spices in it, which are both really healthy, so it creates a really healthy meal. there is a lot of white rice in it, but white rice isn't as unhealthy as people make it out to be.
you may see alot of calories and msg in the food HERE, but actual chinese food cooked at home or in china is more healthy because there is nothing artificial added to it. so people eating packaged chinese food really don't get the health benifits from homecooked chinese food.
if you really want to eat healthy chinese food, find a recipe in a book or online and make it at home. most chinese resturants also have healthy food. try going to these websites:

Don't be hatin' on the Chinese just 'cuase you a Fat@$$! If you think It's unfair, then stop stuffing your mouth with egg-rolls.
It's in the portion of the food. I'm Chinese, and my food portion is always smaller than the portions of my American friends.
But not all Chinese people are skinny.
er.. chinese people do not *usually* eat chinese takeaway. their main diet consists of rice and few other dishes and very unlikely that they cook with MG too...
Their life style, they move around more.
1- Obesity is actualy on the rise in China.
2- The Chinese food we have here is usualy a variation of the traditional Chinese food (ours usualy hase more heavy sauces and faty ingredients)
3- They don't eat that kind of food at every meal. The meals are usuealy much simpler.
