% Daily Value is how much 100 g contributes to the FDA Daily Values for adults and children 4 years and older, the figures on US nutrition labels; a dash means there is no Daily Value for that nutrient. "Not reported" means USDA has no measurement for this food, not that it contains none.

How Orange Chicken fits common diet targets

Net carbs

per 100 g
Protein per 100 kcal
Energy density

medium
  • Net carbs are total carbohydrate minus fiber: 22.5 g − 0.8 g = 21.7 g per 100 g. Low-carb plans usually count these.
  • Protein per 100 kcal compares how much protein each food gives for the same calories: Orange Chicken gives 5.5 g.
  • Energy density is calories per gram. At 2.62 kcal/g, Orange Chicken is medium on the CDC's scale (very low below 0.6, low to 1.5, medium to 4, high above 4); lower-density foods give a larger portion for the same calories.

Logging Orange Chicken: what to know

This is takeaway orange chicken, so the fried coating and the sweet sauce are inside the row. A cup is 252 g and 660 kcal, and sugars reach 13.6 g per 100 g. Rice served with it is a separate line, and homemade versions will differ.
