Two calculated orders built around Broccoli Beef

Adding one published serving of Chow Mein to Broccoli Beef produces 750 calories, 30g protein, 106g carbohydrate, 29g fat, and 1520mg sodium. This Broccoli Beef combination is direct arithmetic from the two named rows, not a restaurant-published bowl or plate.

The alternative pairing of Broccoli Beef with Fried Rice totals 770 calories, 28g protein, and 1520mg sodium. Compared with the first pairing, the second changes calories by 20 and sodium by 0mg, so the companion choice is part of the nutrition decision rather than background detail.

Quantitative position among the 12 selected Panda Express servings

The comparison set for Broccoli Beef contains 12 source rows: Orange Chicken, Broccoli Beef, Beijing Beef, Kung Pao Chicken, Grilled Teriyaki Chicken, Honey Walnut Shrimp, String Bean Chicken Breast, Honey Sesame Chicken Breast, Chow Mein, Fried Rice, Super Greens, Cream Cheese Rangoon (3 Pcs). Within that defined set, Broccoli Beef ranks tied for 5th for protein, 9th for sodium when ranked from highest to lowest, 2nd for calories when ranked from lowest to highest, and 1st for carbohydrates when ranked from lowest to highest. The Broccoli Beef positions use the printed serving for every row and do not normalize all foods to the same weight.

Broccoli Beef provides 15g of protein per 5.44 oz, which equals about 10.0 grams per 100 calories. That Broccoli Beef density is above the 3.9-gram median for this specific peer set. The Broccoli Beef calculation distinguishes absolute protein from protein relative to energy without making unlike serving formats interchangeable.

Common pairings shown as combined nutrition

Pairing Broccoli Beef with Beijing Beef produces a combined total of 620 calories, 29g protein, 58g carbohydrates, 33g fat, and 1120mg sodium. Every number is the sum of one 5.44 oz Broccoli Beef row and one 5.60 oz Beijing Beef row.

The second example combines Broccoli Beef with Kung Pao Chicken, reaching 470 calories, 32g protein, 27g carbohydrates, 27g fat, and 1570mg sodium. The combined label matters for Broccoli Beef because neither restaurant publishes that two-row sum as a distinct item in the frozen JSON.

How Broccoli Beef fits four nutrition goals

Higher-protein planning

For a higher-protein objective, Broccoli Beef contributes 15g before any companion item is counted, and its 10.0 grams per 100 calories sits above the peer median. The pairing with Beijing Beef changes that protein total to 29g, so the complete choice should be evaluated rather than treating the Broccoli Beef row as the entire meal.

Lower-carbohydrate planning

For a lower-carbohydrate objective, Broccoli Beef starts at 12g and sits below the peer median of 28g. Adding Beijing Beef changes the combined carbohydrate figure to 58g; this is why a favorable standalone position for Broccoli Beef can disappear after a bread, rice, bean, donut, or sweetened drink is included.

Lower-sodium planning

For a lower-sodium objective, Broccoli Beef lists 520mg, which is below the 580mg median inside this defined set. The Broccoli Beef plus Kung Pao Chicken example totals 1570mg, showing that the companion row can matter more than the standalone ranking and that a low-calorie choice is not automatically a low-sodium choice.

Calorie control

For calorie control, Broccoli Beef contributes 150 calories and sits below the 330-calorie peer median. The first combined example is 620 calories and the second is 470, so a useful decision keeps the exact companion, quantity, and serving visible instead of extending the Broccoli Beef figure to an unspecified order.

Portion, specification, and interpretation

The source specification for Broccoli Beef is 5.44 oz in the Beef category. The Broccoli Beef numbers on this page describe that exact label, not an assumed household portion, an extra scoop, a partial item, or a larger size. Doubling Broccoli Beef would double the arithmetic, but the resulting total would be a calculation rather than another source record unless the JSON separately lists that larger preparation.

Actual Broccoli Beef preparation can differ from the reference serving, and availability can change without this page changing at the same moment. For Broccoli Beef, the most reliable use is comparison: hold the rest of the order constant, swap one printed row, and observe which fields move. Ingredient, allergen, medical, and current-recipe questions involving Broccoli Beef still require the restaurant or an appropriately qualified professional.

A repeatable decision check for Broccoli Beef

Before using the Broccoli Beef figures, confirm that the menu name and 5.44 oz serving match the intended order. Next, place the Broccoli Beef row beside a realistic alternative from the peer table and choose the one or two nutrient fields that actually drive the decision. Finally, add every planned companion so the 150-calorie standalone value for Broccoli Beef is not mistaken for a complete breakfast, snack, side, bowl, or meal.
