The number of takeaway restaurants has increased significantly in the last few years and this has raised concerns that this can lead to over-consumption in cheap, unhealthy high-fat nutrient-poor food and drink leading to higher body weight and greater risk of obesity.

1. Broccoli Beef Bowl

Fast food joint: Panda Express
Menu item: Broccoli beef bowl
Calories: 230

Yes, it is possible to eat healthy at a Panda Express. Surprised? So was I! But, as it turns out, this order comes in at just 230 calories! I don’t think many healthy food items on this list come under 250 calories, so this is a major win if you love Panda Express but have been avoiding it due to a diet. And if you have never been to a Panda Express, what are you even doing?

According to Eat This, Panda Express actually offers several food menu items with a reasonable calorie count. The secret is to skip anything greasy and fried rice (as delicious as it may be!). Panda Express’ Broccoli Beef bowl with mixed veggies is one of the healthiest choices. However, be sure that you only order HALF an order of mixed veggies. And if you are still hungry, and I do suggest pairing this with a small side since it is only 230 calories and you need more for a complete meal, have this with a cup of fresh fruit.

Lunch is on you this week, right? Take your friends to Panda Express with this gift card from Amazon.
