How this Panda Express calorie calculator works
Every item uses Panda Express's officially published nutrition values for a standard single portion. Pick a meal type first — Bowl lets you choose 1 entree, Plate lets you choose 2, and Bigger Plate lets you choose 3 — each bundled with 1 side. A La Carte lets you price out any entree or side on its own with no bundled side. Tap entrees, a side, and any appetizers or sauces — the ticket updates instantly with total calories and full macros.
Getting a half-and-half side (like half Chow Mein, half Fried Rice)? Add whichever single side is closer to what you're getting, or check both individually in the full nutrition table below and average them. When you land on a build you like, hit Copy shareable link to save the exact combination.

How to order low-calorie at Panda Express without losing the flavor
Super Greens is the single best swap on the menu — as a side it's only 130 calories versus 620 for Fried Rice or 600 for Chow Mein, a savings of nearly 500 calories before you even pick an entree. Among entrees, Broccoli Beef (150 cal, 15g protein) and Grilled Teriyaki Chicken (275 cal, 33g protein) give you the best nutrition for the calories. Panda Express's own Wok Smart designation highlights entrees at 300 calories or fewer with at least 8g of protein — a simple filter to start from.
Chasing protein instead? Teriyaki Chicken has the most protein of any entree at 41g for 340 calories — better than most protein shakes. Grilled Teriyaki Chicken (33g, 275 cal) is a close second with fewer calories. Watch the sauces too: soy sauce alone can add meaningful sodium if you're using several packets.
