Panda Express Fried Rice Nutrition Facts

Fried Rice within the full Sides category

The official 11.00 oz row for Fried Rice contains 620 calories, 13g of protein, 101g of carbohydrate, 19g of fat, and 1000mg of sodium. Among 10 numeric sides rows, Fried Rice ranks 2nd for protein, 10th from lowest for calories, and tied for 8th from lowest for sodium.

The closest calorie neighbor in that category is Chow Mein at 600 calories, making Fried Rice 20 higher than that printed serving. The next closest is White Steamed Rice at 520 calories and 10g protein; Fried Rice differs by 3g of protein without changing either source portion.

Two calculated orders built around Fried Rice

Adding one published serving of Broccoli Beef to Fried Rice produces 770 calories, 28g protein, 113g carbohydrate, 25g fat, and 1520mg sodium. This Fried Rice combination is direct arithmetic from the two named rows, not a restaurant-published bowl or plate.

The alternative pairing of Fried Rice with Grilled Teriyaki Chicken totals 895 calories, 46g protein, and 1470mg sodium. Compared with the first pairing, the second changes calories by 125 and sodium by 50mg, 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 Fried Rice 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, Fried Rice ranks tied for 8th for protein, tied for 2nd for sodium when ranked from highest to lowest, 12th for calories when ranked from lowest to highest, and 12th for carbohydrates when ranked from lowest to highest. The Fried Rice positions use the printed serving for every row and do not normalize all foods to the same weight.

Fried Rice provides 13g of protein per 11.00 oz, which equals about 2.1 grams per 100 calories. That Fried Rice density is below the 3.9-gram median for this specific peer set. The Fried Rice calculation distinguishes absolute protein from protein relative to energy without making unlike serving formats interchangeable.

Common pairings shown as combined nutrition

Pairing Fried Rice with Super Greens produces a combined total of 750 calories, 22g protein, 115g carbohydrates, 23g fat, and 1370mg sodium. Every number is the sum of one 11.00 oz Fried Rice row and one 10.00 oz Super Greens row.

The second example combines Fried Rice with Cream Cheese Rangoon (3 Pcs), reaching 810 calories, 18g protein, 125g carbohydrates, 27g fat, and 1180mg sodium. The combined label matters for Fried Rice because neither restaurant publishes that two-row sum as a distinct item in the frozen JSON.

How Fried Rice fits four nutrition goals

Higher-protein planning

For a higher-protein objective, Fried Rice contributes 13g before any companion item is counted, and its 2.1 grams per 100 calories sits below the peer median. The pairing with Super Greens changes that protein total to 22g, so the complete choice should be evaluated rather than treating the Fried Rice row as the entire meal.

Lower-carbohydrate planning

For a lower-carbohydrate objective, Fried Rice starts at 101g and sits above the peer median of 28g. Adding Super Greens changes the combined carbohydrate figure to 115g; this is why a favorable standalone position for Fried Rice can disappear after a bread, rice, bean, donut, or sweetened drink is included.

Lower-sodium planning

For a lower-sodium objective, Fried Rice lists 1000mg, which is above the 580mg median inside this defined set. The Fried Rice plus Cream Cheese Rangoon (3 Pcs) example totals 1180mg, 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, Fried Rice contributes 620 calories and sits above the 330-calorie peer median. The first combined example is 750 calories and the second is 810, so a useful decision keeps the exact companion, quantity, and serving visible instead of extending the Fried Rice figure to an unspecified order.

Portion, specification, and interpretation

The source specification for Fried Rice is 11.00 oz in the Sides category. The Fried Rice numbers on this page describe that exact label, not an assumed household portion, an extra scoop, a partial item, or a larger size. Doubling Fried Rice 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 Fried Rice preparation can differ from the reference serving, and availability can change without this page changing at the same moment. For Fried Rice, 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 Fried Rice still require the restaurant or an appropriately qualified professional.

A repeatable decision check for Fried Rice

Before using the Fried Rice figures, confirm that the menu name and 11.00 oz serving match the intended order. Next, place the Fried Rice 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 620-calorie standalone value for Fried Rice is not mistaken for a complete breakfast, snack, side, bowl, or meal.
