Why are you hungry an hour after eating Chinese food?
Chinese meals, for the most part, contain rice, little meat, and plenty of low-calorie vegetables. The rice and noodle dishes, such as fried rice and lo mein, contain carbohydrates that cause the blood sugar to peak and then plummet, provoking hunger. So if you are going out for Chinese, don’t forget the Peking duck, the General Tso’s chicken, or the spareribs. You may feel greasy and start quoting Mao, but you won’t feel hungry later.
