I worked at Dunkin' Donuts – the item which contains more calories than a Big Mac & it's not a donut
WHEN you swing by Dunkin' Donuts for breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up, it's probably to give yourself a sweet treat.
You might try and be "healthy" by skipping the donut and opting for a different snack option but be warned: a popular breakfast choice has more calories than a Big Mac.
And, no, the calorie-heavy snack is not a donut.
The questionable menu item was mentioned in a compilation of Dunkin' Donuts employee secrets published by Eat This, Not That, and the hefty claim checks out.
According to the McDonald's website, a Big Mac clocks in at 550 calories.
Those 550 calories come from two beef patties, three buns, a slice of cheese, and special Big Mac sauce.
