    So worth..pnjr92293q1a.png

    I can't justify eating panda. I miss it terribly. Sweet fire chicken was my go-to choice. The calories/fat/sodium are just not worth it. I could understand having maybe a bowl occasionally but 1500 in one sitting would be a set back.

    My average tde amongst several calculators is like 2800, so for me it's not a big deal. I get tho if your tde is really small =(

    just because you can eat 2800 calories, it doesn't mean you need to.

    Because i think you mean something else like a deficit.


    and i love Panda...but the salt kills it most of the time for me.

    When i get it...i make it fit. Even when i was on 1200 calories a day, i just ate a day at maintenance level

    I love me some Panda. I eat it a couple times per week. It helps me get to my 6K sodium goal!

    Well what I mean is, regardless of if you're trying for a deficit or are maintaining, if you have a high tdee you can eat more. Really tho im no nutrition or diet pro so i could totally be wrong, but I think this is entering needless semantics territory haha.

    make that chicken at home and save a ton of money. just buy the rice if you want. or even find some in the frozen food section at the grocery store.

    You can say that about everything you get outside of the house. I don't buy pizza any more because I make it at home from scratch and think it tastes better. However, I like to eat out on occasion.
    Frozen rice?

    I don't understand the hoop la. I mean, I just got back from Chinatown so I guess I'd rather get a meal there. I think we had a panda express in our college food court.

    The teriyaki chicken has become one of my go-tos for fast food/work lunches. You can find a lot of articles, if you google it, about the quality of their food and trained cooks. The cooks even have Q&As about how they prepare the food and how it is shipped to the store. Yup, I can definitely fit it in! Although it has nothing on authentic Chinese food we have in my city.
