Panda Express nutrition information

Guides FAQ

What do these guides cover?

Calories, protein, allergens and prices for real Panda Express orders. Each guide works from the same published nutrition data as the rest of the site, covering 71 items with the full panel.

How often are the guides updated?

The site rebuilds weekly, and every guide carries the date it was last checked at the top. Prices and calories are pulled from the data layer at build time, so a number that changes on the menu changes in the guide too.

Can I check my own order instead of reading a guide?

Yes. The nutrition calculator totals calories, protein, carbs, fat, sodium and sugar for any combination of items, and the meal planner lays out a week against a budget.

Are these official Panda Express articles?

No. PandaExpressNutritionCalculator.org is an independent resource with no affiliation to Panda Express. The guides use the brand's publicly published menu and nutrition information and say plainly when a figure is not published.
