Help with calories at panda express? How much is a serving size?
http://www.pandaexpress.com/menu/nutrition.aspx
According to that if i want a two item combo with half orange chicken / 1/2 kung pow chicken and all chow mein…how many calories is that?
Basically it says that the serving size is about six ounces….is that if i was to order all of it or as a half?
Hopefully that makes sense….
i just want to know what their serving size is referring to….
You need to get most of your calories from fat, not carbs to lose weight more easily. The problem is that Panda Express uses canola oil or soybean oil that is very bad for you. When they first pour the junk out of the bottle it is rancid and then when the heat it slightly, it forms trans fats and it doesn’t matter the bottle states no trans fats, because it forms these trans fats when heated even slightly.
If Panda Express really cared about your health, they would use olive oil or a more saturated fat like lard that is very stable and is good for you, in spite of what you have heard from the lunatics that have no clue what they are talking about in regard to fats and oils.
You should regulate your diet in such a way that you get about 75 grams of carbohydrates per day. It is very rare to find a restaurant that cares about your health or uses good oils and fats. I have NOT found one yet and am still looking.
a quick not on sodium: Sodium is NOT bad for you and you need to eat salt everyday for good health. That Morton salt you buy in the Mausoleums where dead food is held in state can be found is junk. It contains dextrose (sugar), aluminum (heavy metal bad for your thyroid), and the salt is made by heating it to 1,100 degrees and destroys the trace minerals, leaving the junk salt. Air dried sea salt is the best and it contains lots of trace minerals and is very good for you. You should be getting at least 1 tsp. of that or more per day into your body.
SALT is not bad for you. It is the imbalance of salt to potassium that is the problem. An imbalance of either of these in excess will harm you. These lunatics telling you NOT to eat salt are simply ignorant and should be locked away somewhere so they can’t harm people with their so called, “expert advice.” As an example, I challenge you to find any credible study that shows salt causes high blood pressure, yet doctors and others tell people with high blood pressure to not eat salt. Crazy stuff going on out there.
good luck to you
