Panda Express Plate Calories: Every Combination (460–1,680 cal)

1. Start with Super Greens (+130 cal)

Super Greens vs. Fried Rice is a 490-calorie difference — more than most individual entrees. It's the biggest single swap you can make. Super Greens also adds fiber and keeps sodium lower than any cooked side.

2. Use one low-cal entree slot strategically

You have two entree slots. Put Broccoli Beef (150 cal) or Black Pepper Sirloin Steak (180 cal) in one slot — then you can pick Orange Chicken (510 cal) for the other without blowing the total. Super Greens + Broccoli Beef + Orange Chicken = 790 calories. That's a satisfying Plate well under 800.

3. Avoid stacking two high-cal entrees

Orange Chicken (510) + Beijing Beef (470) + any rice side = 1,400–1,600 calories. Two calorie-dense entrees compound fast. If you want both, consider a Plate with Super Greens — it brings the total down significantly versus any rice or noodle side.
