Chow mein is a dish of Chinese stir-fried noodles with vegetables and sometimes meat or tofu.

Over the centuries, variations of chǎomiàn were developed in many regions of China there are several methods of frying the noodles and a range of toppings can be used.

The difference between chow mein and lo mein lies in the translations of their names as chow mein is fried, and lo mein is tossed.

The experience is somewhat different between the low Mein and Chow Mein.

Lo mein tends to be saucier and more toothsome, with a texture some describe as “slippery” because of the noodles' softness.

Chow Mein is healthy in moderation.

But when eaten in excess the Chow Mein can be unhealthy and fattening and could even cause and lead to cysts in humans.

But when eaten in moderation the Chow Mein is healthy and it's a good food and delicious.

The Chow Mein noodles are prepared in light oil with lots of vegetables and lean protein which is a great option that's low in calories and high in nutrients.

So the Chow Mein does contain some nutrients that are healthy for you but just like any other food too much can be unhealthy.

It's okay to eat Chow Mein in moderation even when on a weight loss diet but don't overeat it because too much Chow Mein can also be fattening.
