One serving here means 1 cup of meatless fried rice (166 g). The 166 g is the “1 cup” portion weight in the FNDDS record. The record is generic fried rice without meat; it is not specifically egg fried rice, and a restaurant plate is larger than a cup. The table below shows how the numbers change if your portion is smaller or larger. It is plain multiplication of the per-100 g record, so it is only as exact as the portion you actually eat.

What changes the calories in fried rice (without meat)
Fried rice is cooked rice stir-fried with a little oil, so most of its calories are the rice itself. Adding egg, meat or extra oil moves the number up, and these records are for the version without meat.
- Plate size: the cup is 166 g; a restaurant plate is more. Scale with the serving table.
- Egg and meat: the record is meatless. Egg, chicken, pork or shrimp add protein and fat.
- Oil: wok fried rice at a restaurant can use more oil than a home recipe.
- Sodium: 361 mg per 100 g from soy sauce and seasoning, about 599 mg in a cup.

A database record is an average for a standard preparation. Your dish may differ with the recipe, the oil, the sauce and the portion. A scan of your own plate is a separate AI estimate and will not match this page exactly.
What a chain restaurant publishes
P.F. Chang's own table lists its side of fried rice at 500 kcal, with 13 g of protein and 15 g of fat. The PDF does not give a weight, so it cannot be compared exactly with the USDA cup above, but a restaurant side is clearly more than one cup.
