    For everyone who has ever said or thought "Chinese food is really delicious, but I get hungry really soon after and so it's kinda scammy/ this is a sign of Chinese crappiness at play"... I need y'all to realize that Chinese food is majority poverty-food, hence not sticking.

        Like, a lot of Chinese food is high on carbs, low on protein - this is to stretch said protein because protein is more expensive, like duh, right? ...so that means because your body is going to burn through the carbs much faster, you're not going to stay as full for as long.

        Fried rice is super delicious - but look, there's almost nothing of substance there except sugar, which your body is gonna blaze through and then sugar crash. The fat helps a bit, but... *big shrug*

        I did an entire thread on this, but we have foods like "stuff glutinous rice, which is harder to digest, into a pig intestine casing, add some lard, add three peanuts and call it a sausage and that's lunch". If you're young, that's gonna digest in two shakes of a pig's tail.

        The various types of guì in Chinese cuisine is basically RICE FLOUR MIXED WITH WATER AND SOME FLAVORING, STEAMED SO IT LOOKS SUBSTANTIAL, AND THEN YOU EAT IT WITH GARLIC SOY SAUCE... That's...if you haven't noticed, MORE CARBS you're gonna plow through!

        The point of Chinese food was to be really cheap and to deceive your stomach for long enough to get you through the day, and also be delicious so you're not crying over starving constantly. TBH, $13 platters of fried rice are just not how it should be but capitalism.

        Even now in Taiwan, this is still a thing. You CAN go to all you can eat hot pot places, but the average working person's lunch is going to be "delicious meat thing, but not a lot of it, plus all you can eat rice in certain places".

        Stir-fried udon is super delicious - but if I only eat that, I'm going to be starving an hour later, so I usually have to pay extra to get a hot spring egg on the side, plus some chicken skewers. That makes feeding me more expensive than average, but I need protein or I crash.

        If you are also like me and you need extra protein to carry you over to the next meal - plan accordingly? Fried rice is gonna let you down. Fried noodles will make you cry. Broccoli beef is a better bet, assuming sufficient beef and broccoli ratio to rice.

        Just for the record, I once went to a nutritionist class and he asked everyone to tell him what they ate for the past three days and tallied up their protein counts. Many of them had less than 10 grams over the course of three days. Granted he didn't count starch/veg protein.

        The lesson of the class was "you need at least one gram of protein per kg of bodyweight". Most people weren't even getting 1/10 or 1/4 of what they needed. Even if you counted protein from noodles/rice, etc, many weren't even getting half. So that's why you're hungry.

        The reason why my nutritionist discounted most plant proteins such as in wheat, etc, is because wheat protein doesn't really work as well for human needs as animal protein for many people. Also it's an incomplete protein.

        I like the idea of being vegetarian or vegan as much as the next tree-hugger, but I once tried doing plant proteins only and I couldn't get out of the brain fog and it was really hard to wake up. Ate an egg and I could literally feel my mind clear.

        So whereas technically if you fried brown rice with peas, you do have a complete protein, it doesn't do anything for me. If you have similar issues, then eating fried rice is really going to be extra hard on you in terms of belly-crashing after eating.
