How to best use your Points at Dunkin’

Whether you still call it by its old-school name of Dunkin’ Donuts or you’ve modernized to Dunkin’, chances are you appreciate the chain’s coffee, donuts, breakfasts, or snacks. They’re delicious, and with WeightWatchers®, there’s room for sweet treats in an overall healthy pattern of eating that’s part of ourprogram for weight loss.

If Dunkin’ is a regular stop for you, you’ll just want to keep an eye on the added sugar. According to theDietary Guidelines for Americans, added sugar accounts for an average of 270 extra calories per day in the U.S., typically coming from sweetened drinks (including coffee and tea) and desserts — Dunkin’s main offerings. (Yep, a Dunkin’ blueberry muffin has a whopping 22 Points®.) But there are lots of options at Dunkin’ that hit the sweet spot, caffeinate you, and don’t deplete your Budget for the day.

While coffee itself has no Points, adding pumps of syrups, whole milk, and whipped cream on top can pile on the Points, fast. Stick to these options to get your coffee without all the extras.
