Low-carb items at Panda Express
2 single servings in Panda Express’ nutrition information have 10 g of total carbohydrate or less and at least 15 g of protein, and 6 more have 11 to 20 g. The most protein among the lowest-carbohydrate group is in the Teriyaki Chicken (Cub Meal): 31 g of protein, 10 g of carbohydrate and 250 calories.
Chains publish total carbohydrate, not net carbs, so these tables use total carbohydrate as published. Buns, tortillas, breading, rice and sweet sauces carry most of the carbohydrate on these menus; the section column below skips items under 50 calories so that sauces and plain toppings do not fill it.
