Before the keto dieter police get upset, no, fast food keto options are not the best quality. A well-formulated ketogenic diet packed with keto foods full of healthy fats, micronutrients, and high-quality protein sources are ideal, but it’s not always 100% realistic.

I understand that you are human and whether you are on the go, a busy mom, or just need a quick bite to eat, sometimes fast food is your only option and best option for a keto meal.

Staying keto at Buffalo Wild Wing , McDonalds , and Chipotle may all be pretty straightforward, but when it comes to Panda Express, low carb entrees and side dishes may not be as obvious. Let’s go over how to stay keto at Panda Express!

Keto Panda Express Menu Options

All of these menu items can be included on a ketogenic diet; however, they are all on the high spectrum of total carbs per meal.

If you follow a strict under 25 g of net carb count daily diet, you will definitely have to make sure your other meals throughout the day are lower in grams of carbs to accommodate for this keto-friendly meal.

Pro tip: Use the Panda Express website to look up the nutritional information of your meal before you head over to the American asian restaurant for a bite to eat!

A great option will always be to drink water. If you want something else, these are the keto-friendly drinks at Panda Express (some are subject to availability per location).

Panda Express Gluten Free Menu Guide

Panda Express offers some items that naturally don’t contain wheat flour or gluten so it’s helpful to know which foods these are and if it’s okay to eat them.

But if you are one of those extreme celiac disease sufferers or have mild gluten allergies, it’s best to steer clear of Panda Express because gluten-containing foods are prepared in the same kitchen areas as gluten free food items.
