How to Calculate Calories for a Full Dairy Queen Meal
Add the entrée, side, drink, dessert, and any extras that have separate nutrition entries. If your entrée is a basket with sides already included, use the basket row once. The figures below are calculated examples using the U.S. charts.
| Example order | What is counted | Calories | Protein (g) | Sodium (mg) |
| Hamburger and side salad | Hamburger + undressed side salad | 340 | 16 | 880 |
| Single cheeseburger and fries | Single Original Cheeseburger + regular fries | 650 | 22 | 1,710 |
| Double cheeseburger and fries | Double Original Cheeseburger + regular fries | 850 | 34 | 2,120 |
| Four-piece basket and kids’ cone | Standard four-piece Chicken Strip Basket + kids’ vanilla cone | 1,180 | 39 | 2,185 |
Add any drink, extra dip, or salad dressing separately. DQ’s Original Cheeseburger Meal Deal product page lists the nutrition summary for the cheeseburger alone. The 3-Piece Chicken Strip Meal Deal summary covers the strips alone. Include the remaining components when logging the whole deal.
How to Compare DQ Orders for Your Nutrition Goals
- Calories: A small vanilla cone has 220 calories and a Mini OREO Blizzard has 330. For a side, the chart shows 280 for regular fries and 20 for a side salad before dressing.
- Protein: The single Original Cheeseburger lists 17 g, the double lists 29 g, and the six-piece Chicken Strip Basket lists 48 g. Compare the full calorie and sodium figures when deciding between them.
- Sodium: Regular fries add 590 mg to an order. The four-piece Chicken Strip Basket lists 2,120 mg on its own, so check drinks, dips, or other sides separately if you track sodium.
