This is excellent advice.
My sister and I are both health nuts and hit the Chinese buffet at least once a week. As F_F said you don't want to go for the fried won tons, eggrolls or the battered pieces of pork/shrimp/chicken/etc. but most "stir fry" dishes involve a minimal amount of oil. Go for the items with veggies and seafood (or slices of beef, chicken and pork, if you must, that aren't battered and fried). The rice and lo mein are low fat (but are carbs). Balance those with the dishes that have all the snow peas, waterchestnuts, broccolli, etc and any non-fried seafood the place offers and you are eating the healthiest you can do away from home
