Example of Use
Panda Express Meal Builder Selection
In the meal builder section of the Panda Express tool, I picked Chow Mein (510 cal), Black Pepper Chicken (280 cal), and a small Coca-Cola (270 cal) as my items, each with a quantity of 1, while setting daily goals at 2000 calories, 50g protein, and 2300mg sodium. I did this to simulate a typical fast-casual Chinese meal and evaluate if it fit my nutrition targets, with options to load saved meals or clear everything for a fresh start.

Browsing the menu in the Panda Express Nutrition Calculator, I filtered out allergens like wheat and soy, sorted by categories such as Sides (showing Chow Mein at 510 cal/13g protein, Fried Rice at 520 cal/12g protein, etc.), Veggies, Chicken (like Black Pepper Chicken at 280 cal/13g protein, Grilled Teriyaki at 300 cal/36g protein), Beef, Seafood, Appetizers, Beverages (including Coca-Cola Small at 270 cal/0g protein), and Sauces. I used this to explore options marked as ‘Wok Smart’ for healthier picks, aiming to build a meal that’s flavorful but mindful of calories and protein.
