What are DoorDash meals under 500 calories

DoorDash meals under 500 calories are full orders on the app, not sides, at 500 calories or less. We only counted meals, so fries, drinks, dips and desserts aren’t included.

Out of 1,004 meals in Pleit’s database, 333 come in at 500 calories or less. We sorted them by what you’d actually type into DoorDash, like burger, pizza or breakfast.

DoorDash shows calories when restaurants post them, and Ontario requires chains with 20 or more locations to post calories on apps. Comparing protein across restaurants is still up to you.

Poutine and pasta never make it

No poutine or pasta in our data is under 500 calories. The lightest poutine is KFC’s Snack Sized Poutine, at 570 calories.
