Three complete P.F. Chang's meals under 1,200 calories

Under 1,200, the most-protein meal is built on the Chicken with Broccoli (480 cal for the dish alone), which leaves 720 calories for the sides it comes with and a drink. One plate — a dish with a valid pick for each choice it comes with, never the same row twice — and at most one drink: the MinMax app's meal and the best under the cap, drink included. All 3 are the same as under 1,000: nothing between 1,000 and 1,200 calories beats them on their goal.
