Monosodium glutamate is a flavor enhancer and common ingredient in Chinese food. This substance is similar to glutamate, a chemical in the brain. Chinese restaurant syndrome refers to the set of symptoms, including chest pain, headache and sweating, that some people report after eating Chinese food.
The Bottom Line. Chinese food doesn't have to be a diet disaster. Opt for dishes that are full of steamed or lightly stir-fried veggies (ask them to use very little oil) and lean proteins (shellfish, fish, chicken, tofu, lean beef). Use chopsticks to help slow your eating, allowing your stomach ample time to send signals to your brain that you are full.
