Dietary Fat

A single turkey sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich has 25 grams of total fat, including 8 grams of saturated fat.

As mentioned above, 225 of the total 470 calories are derived from fat. That’s 48% of the total calories. It’s also equivalent to a 32% daily value.

Here is how to calculate the daily value for total fat (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).

  • FDA recommends limiting calories from fat to 35% or less of total calories
  • 35% of 2,000 calorie diet = 700 calories
  • 225 calories in the sandwich is 32% of recommended limit of 700 calories
  • 225 calories from fat (48% of total calories).

Sodium

Take note of the amount of sodium in one sandwich. A single serving has 1,080 milligrams of sodium. That’s almost half the daily recommended value (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).

Sugar

The four grams of sugar is comprised of one gram of natural sugar and three grams from added sugars.

Natural Sugars vs Added Sugars

Naturally occurring sugars are found in milk (lactose), fruits, and vegetables.

When it comes to reviewing a nutrition facts label for sugars, it’s the “added sugars” that you want to limit, if possible. Added sugars refer to the sugars that are added during the processing of foods.

Examples of added sugars include sucrose, dextrose, and other sweeteners such as corn syrup, honey, and table sugar.

While there is no daily value for natural sugars, the current FDA Daily Value for added sugars is 50 grams (based on a 2,000 calorie daily diet) per day.

With that in mind, one Dunkin’ Turkey Sausage, Egg & Cheese sandwich delivers 12 calories from added sugars, which is 6% of the recommended daily value.

  • 12 calories from Added Sugars (6%DV).
