Dairy Queen calorie calculator: build an order under your cap
Set a calorie cap from 200 to 1,500 and build a Dairy Queen order from 66 single orders — 35 entrées, 14 sides, 11 breakfast items and 6 drinks — using Dairy Queen's own published figures, rounded to whole calories and grams. The lightest meal-sized main is the Corn Dog (at select locations) at 240 calories; the heaviest entrée, the Flamethrower Chicken Strip Basket (6) (limited time), is 1,300. The most protein in a complete meal under 500 is 24 g.
