Dairy Queen splits pretty cleanly into two menus: the burger-and-fries side, and the soft-serve side that’s the whole reason most people show up. This Dairy Queen nutrition calculator covers both, so you can see what a burger meal plus a Blizzard actually adds up to before you order dessert too.

How to Use This Dairy Queen Calculator
Add burgers, basket meals, cones or a Blizzard as you build your order. Blizzards are listed by size and flavor separately since both change the total meaningfully — an Oreo Blizzard runs notably higher than a plain Vanilla one at the same size.

How Much Does a Blizzard Really Add to a Meal?
A small Vanilla Blizzard is about 340 calories, but a small Oreo Blizzard jumps to roughly 470 calories, and a medium Oreo Blizzard climbs to about 640 — more than some full burger meals on this list. Mix-ins are where most of the calorie difference comes from, not the soft-serve base itself, so flavor choice matters more than size alone once you’re comparing two different Blizzard flavors.
Is the Chicken Strip Basket a Better Choice Than a Burger?
Not if you’re counting calories: a 4-piece Chicken Strip Basket with fries and gravy is approximately 1,140 calories, well above even the Bacon Cheeseburger (630 calories). Baskets include a full side of fries and gravy by default, which is most of what pushes the total that high — the chicken strips themselves are a smaller share of the number.
