How ordering works

Every meal starts with a plate size. The size decides how many entrees you get.

Bowl

1 entree + 1 side

The smallest option. Good if you want a single flavor with a side. Most bowls land between 400–700 calories.

Plate

2 entrees + 1 side

The most popular choice. Mix two entrees — for example, Orange Chicken with Broccoli Beef to balance things out.

Bigger Plate

3 entrees + 1 side

Three entrees means more variety, but calories add up fast. Great for sharing or a big appetite.

What has the most protein at Panda Express?

If you're trying to hit a protein goal, these are the items to focus on. Sorted by protein per serving.

Orange Chicken25g49019.6

String Bean Chicken14g19013.6

Grilled Teriyaki Chicken is the clear winner — 36g protein at just 7.6 calories per gram. Orange Chicken has decent protein but costs you nearly 20 cal per gram.

Is Panda Express actually healthy?

It depends entirely on what you order. Here's an honest look at the range.

The lighter end

A Bowl with Broccoli Beef and Super Greens is 240 calories with 15g protein. That's lighter than most salads.

Six items are Wok Smart (under 300 cal each), and the Super Greens side is only 90 cal.

You can easily build a meal under 400 calories if you're intentional about it.

The heavier end

A Bigger Plate with Orange Chicken, Beijing Beef, Honey Sesame Chicken, and Fried Rice is 1,900+ calories.

Fried Rice alone is 520 cal. Chow Mein is 510. These sides are the biggest calorie traps.

Sodium is also high across the menu — most entrees have 600–1,000mg per serving.

Which items have the most sodium?

Sodium is the number people forget to check. Here's where the popular items stand.

ItemSodiumCalories% Daily Value
Kung Pao Chicken970mg29042%
Black Pepper Chicken930mg25040%
Orange Chicken820mg49036%

Fried Rice850mg52037%
Chow Mein860mg51037%
Broccoli Beef520mg15023%
Super Greens280mg9012%

Daily recommended limit is 2,300mg. A Plate with Kung Pao Chicken, Orange Chicken, and Chow Mein hits 2,650mg of sodium in one meal.

Lighter meals worth trying

You don't have to give up flavor to eat lighter. These combos are all under 500 calories.

Broccoli Beef + Super Greens

Bowl — 240 calories, 15g protein

The lightest real meal on the menu. Filling enough for lunch, and the veggies are surprisingly good.

Mushroom Chicken + White Rice

Bowl — 550 calories, 19g protein

Slightly above 500 with rice, but swap to Super Greens for just 260 cal total.

String Bean Chicken + Super Greens

Bowl — 280 calories, 20g protein

Solid protein for the calories. The green beans add a nice crunch.

Grilled Teriyaki Chicken + Brown Rice

Bowl — 695 calories, 45g protein

Higher calories but 45g protein makes it the best ratio on the menu. Swap to Super Greens for 365 cal.

Your side matters more than you think

Swapping your side is the easiest way to cut calories without changing what you actually eat.

SideCaloriesCompared to Fried Rice
Fried Rice520 cal—
Chow Mein510 cal−10 cal
White Steamed Rice380 cal−140 cal
Brown Steamed Rice420 cal−100 cal
Super Greens90 cal−430 cal

Choosing Super Greens over Fried Rice saves 430 calories — that's the equivalent of almost an entire extra entree.
