Considerations

Calorie content of some menu items may vary according to their preparation. If you order additional toppings on a sandwich or request that some be left off, your sandwich might have more or fewer total calories. The larger the drink size you order, the more calories the drink will contain.

Recommendations

Keep the calorie and fat content of your Dunkin' Donuts meals under control with certain strategies. Specifically request skim milk instead of whole milk or cream in coffee and espresso drinks. If you order a high-calorie Coollata espresso drink, order the smallest size or ask for two cups and split the drink with a friend. Use only half of the cream cheese provided for your bagels. Choose menu items with less saturated fat. Saturated fat should account for less than 10 percent of your daily fat intake, according to the CDC.
