Panda Express is normally pretty good about providing up-to-date nutrition information for everything they sell. Even when they release a new entree, you can find nutrition info for it on their website (frequently before you can buy it at my local store). They even list common food allergens, which is nice. However, I was checking out their website today (as I will be in a hurry to eat dinner tonight), and I noticed their "Wok Smart" entrees have experienced some "fat inflation" in their latest update.

Example: String Bean Chicken Breast: 5.6 oz, 160 calories, 120 calories from fat, 13 g fat, 13 g carb, 2 g fiber, 15 g protein. I left out a few columns, but a little math shows that these numbers do *not* add up to 160 calories. Now, an earlier version of this entree in the MFP database shows only 6 g of fat, with everything else the same. Those numbers actually *do* work out.

I just wrote them an email about it. I wonder how long it will take for them to fix it?

(I also wonder if they've really decided to "fatten up" their Wok Smart menu, or if this is some kind of copy-and-paste error.) :frown: :laugh:
