Panda Express Double Protein Plate

The Double Protein Plate is the format built for people counting grams: extra entree portions in place of the standard side balance, $10.50. It formalizes what gym goers were already ordering by hand, and it is the cleanest high protein order on the Panda Express menu.

The trade is straightforward. Where a normal Plate gives you a full side and two entrees, this one weights the tray toward protein, which means more of what you came for and less of the rice or noodles that carry most of the carbs. Paired with Super Greens rather than a starch, it becomes the leanest way to buy a large amount of protein at a fast food counter.

Calories and macros depend on the entrees chosen, and the choice matters more here than in any other format because the protein is doubled. Grilled Teriyaki Chicken at 33 g per serving doubles to over 60 grams for around 275 calories twice over. Choose battered entrees instead and the same format delivers half the protein for double the calories. The macro calculator shows the difference instantly.

How much is the Double Protein Plate? $10.50 nationally, which prices it in line with the standard Plate, with premium entrees adding upcharges as usual.

It suits training days, high protein diets and anyone who finds a standard plate too carb heavy. Build it from the grilled and wok fired entrees rather than the glazed ones, and pair it with Super Greens at 130 calories. The protein guide ranks every entree by published grams to pick from.
