Tracking App Errors — What to Know
User-submitted entries in apps like MyFitnessPal, Cronometer, and Lose It often contain outdated or wrong Panda Express macros. These are the most consequential errors currently in circulation:
| Item | Wrong value (apps) | Correct value |
|---|---|---|
| Orange Chicken protein | 26g | 16g |
| Grilled Teriyaki Chicken protein | 36g | 33g |
| Grilled Teriyaki Chicken calories | 300 cal | 275 cal |
| Broccoli Beef protein | 9g | 15g |
| String Bean Chicken Breast protein | 15g | 12g |
| String Bean Chicken Breast calories | 190 cal | 210 cal |
| Beijing Beef calories | 480 cal | 470 cal |
| Honey Sesame Chicken Breast protein | 17g | 16g |
Source: official Panda Express nutrition data. Wrong values sourced from user-submitted tracking app entries verified May 2026.
The Orange Chicken error is particularly significant — showing 26g protein instead of 16g overstates protein by 62.5%. If you've been tracking Panda Express macros using app entries without verifying, your protein totals may be substantially inflated.
