With all this talk about Chinese food having a bad rep, I thought it would be appropriate to break down so called gourmet Chinese food, Panda Express.

I know it's SOOOOOO bad, but I just love their orange chicken, served in a bowl over white rice. It's an occasional treat though because it pretty much has *no* redeeming nutritional value. Man, it's good though! When I'm in the mood for it, it's better than Ben & Jerrys!
1I love the mixed veggies over white rice...And if I need an extra "treat" I order 2 veggie spring rolls too. Ah, so good!
2I like their Kung Pao Chicken, and it's not as bad nutritionally as the Orange Chicken.
3The only things I'll even eat there is the chow mein and the orange chicken!
4Good thing I've moved away from fried rice!
5can you imagine being Chinese?! hahahahha i eat these stuff all the time!
6ALTHOUGH, cooking at home makes all the difference!
7Fried rice is sooooo bad for you, but it can be hard to resist at times
8I love me some Panda Express, the kung pao with half chowmein and half rice with a side of mandarin chicken....a nice indulgence atleast once a month
9I love their mushroom chicken. Good to know it's a better choice. Unfortunately last time I ate it, I also had the bbq pork
10I always get the fried rice w orange chicken i had no idea it was this bad for you!
11yum I love panda express, but now I know what healthy and what's not!
12i love panda - yum yum! i know the orange chicken is bad..but it's also soooooooooooooo good yummy!!
13Yikes.
14I always order the Beef and Broccoli, Chicken with mushrooms, and instead of fried rice I get the mixed veggies. So yummy! The greatest part is all of it together is not much over 300 cals.
15Haha I get the orange chicken, fried rice and egg rolls. Good thing I have only eaten here like once in the past three years!
