Dairy Queen Zesty Queso?

Hello! Today is my splurge meal (kind of), and I ordered pretzel sticks and the queso dip, but I did not eat the queso dip. I’m trying to find out how many calories the cheese has in it, but all I can find is that the order together is 330 calories. Can anyone help me calculate the calories in the pretzel sticks alone?

    None of us know the exact portion size of what you had. It would probably be easiest for you to estimate how much queso was in the cup you were served and find a similar entry to deduct that.

    I'd just log the 330 calories, and call it good.

    I’d just log the 330. I’d guess the queso part is maybe 100 calories which is chump change in the grand scheme of things and not worth the effort to figure out - especially for a one time splurge.

    The only things you can do are guess at how many calories were in the queso, or guess how many were in the pretzel sticks. Auntie Anne's cheese dip is 90 calories per container, so I might guess that the DQ queso was similar.

    Very late response but they do mention the nutrition info for the Zesty Queso on their website separately so it's very easy to figure out just the Pretzels then.

    Calories: 130
    Fat: 11
    Sat. Fat: 4
    Trans Fat: 0
    Cholesterol: 15
    Sodium: 710
    Carbs: 6
    Fiber: 0
    Sugar: 0
    Protein: 3

    So removing that from the Pretzel Sticks gives you for 3 sticks:
    Cal: 200
    Fat: 2
    Sat. Fat: 1
    Trans: 0
    Cholesterol: 10
    Sodium: 1350
    Carbs: 46
    Fiber: 2
    Sugar: 7
    Protein: 6

    Er, decade... :D

    But great answer! Sometimes have to look for workarounds.

    Zesty

    I always thought that was an odd flavor name

    It's been about 5 years since the OP. Would you call that a semi-decade?
