Vietnamese Food...Yay or Nay?

Does anyone have any idea how many calories are in Vietnamese food?  I had grilled chicken over rice noodles today...lots of veggies (cukes, bean sprouts, lettuce, carrots, etc) and rice noodles.  The sauce/dressing seemed pretty light.  Mostly vinegar but I saw a few little droplets of oil.  I tried logging each discernible ingredient by itself, but I have no idea if it was a good choice or not.

I would log it separately too.  Vietnamese food is always a good choice. 

Yeah, I'd agree that generally Vietnamese is good.  I always go for the Vegetarian Pho and it's fairly low cal, and ssooooo good!

I don't eat anything with "sauces", pho is broth-based. 

Mmmmm pho..  A little place down the street from me does a mean spicey chicken pho..  I could eat it every day!

How would you log pho?

There is a pho in CC, I've used it before... not sure how accurate it is though if you are getting it at a restaurant.

Mmmm.... I had brought a healthy curry lentils and chicken dish for lunch today, then my buddy called and invited me for vietnamese... Yummy.... grilled pork with rolls on rice noodles!!!  I couldn't stop and ate the whole bowl. I'll have to work extra hard tonight to burn this off... ha ha....

does anyone have an approximate calorie count for a rice noodle bowl with meat, veg, and spring rolls?

Pho! I love pho! (I haven't had any since I started dieting)
