Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | it depends on how much you are eating...

I try to eat at least a few bites of sf, then gradually increase the content of other items of the meal as I go... but portion control is variable... I don't eat a ton at some meals and those may just be a bit of SF alone, or a few crackers and a piece of safe turkey jerky.... but I can eat a bunch at other meals... I know I make pulled chicken into sandwiches so I eat a whole bun covered in chicken on one side, while DH does a ton of chicken poured over his bun and eats it with a knife and fork...

things like that... and carbs aren't bad for you as long as you are calculating your overall calories to include them... one thing to think about- what things are in the stir fry, some veggies are SF too... that helps a LOT.

if you are serious about losing weight- fitday.com has a lot of helpful tools to calculate what you are eating vs what calories you are expending... I need to get back to doing that again..
