Hello! Try not to worry too much, there are some pretty low syn meals you can have from the chinese. I usually go for beef in blackbean sauce (5syns) with either boiled rice or noodles (both free). Also, prawn crackers are 1.5 syns for 2

http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-eating-out/148988-chinese-takeaway.html is an excellent thread which gives the syn value of chinese meals.

Thanks a mill for this link, I couldn't find anything when I ran a search!
Do you know how many syns chicken curry would be as it's not on the list ? Also, what would a veggie curry be?

Your welcome! If you read a few posts down in that thread, someone asks the syn value for chicken/beef curry. It looks as though its about 6 syns

I did read that bit about the curry but then got confused as they mentioned it being for just the sauce and not the meat etc. But thanks so much for your help.

Re the starter yes I think I would have to skip it. ?

Egg fried rice: 4
Plain noodles/boiled rice: FREE
Chicken chop suey with noodles: 5.5
Chicken in oyster sauce: 4.5
Chicken/beef in black bean sauce: 5
Chicken curry: 11.5
Vegetable curry: 9
Chicken chow mein: 7

These are all per portion- so you could have egg fried rice and chicken chow mein for 11 syns

How about satay chicken skewers (ask them to put the sauce on the side and then dont eat it) if the chicken is not fried that will be syn free i think. xx
