2026 Restaurant Nutrition Reference

One table, six brands, the exact total each calculator on this site shows for its default build, sourced from what each chain has published on its own menu.

What a Default Order Actually Costs in 2026

Line up the default selection from every calculator on this site and the range runs from about 115 calories (a medium hot coffee at Dunkin, black, no food) to 660 calories (a Chipotle chicken bowl with rice, beans, cheese and salsa). Nothing below is averaged or modeled. Each number is read straight from the same database that powers the live tool for that brand, computed off the exact options marked "selected" or "checked" when the page loads.

The reason this page exists is simple: a single word like "latte" or "burrito bowl" can describe dozens of different calorie counts depending on size, milk and toppings. This table pins down one specific, reproducible build per brand so it can be quoted and checked, rather than treated as a rough guess. Open any calculator on this site and you can change every input from here and watch the number move.

Starbucks sugar for the default build above: 29 g. Dunkin sugar for the default build above: 12 g. A dash marks a field the source calculator does not track for that item.

Treat this as a floor, not a ceiling. Every row above is the lightest realistic version of that order, the state each calculator loads in before you touch a single option. Add a tortilla, size up, ask for extra cheese or a donut on the side and the number climbs, sometimes by hundreds of calories. Use the live tools to match what you actually order.

Things to Know About This Reference

Every figure above is read directly from the calculator database behind the matching tool, not sourced separately or estimated just for this page. Each database is built from the nutrition information the chain itself publishes for its menu, the same disclosure most of these restaurants are required to make under the FDA's menu-labeling rule for chains with 20 or more locations (21 CFR 101.11, enforced since May 2018; see the FDA's menu labeling requirements).
