[...] Dunkin' Brands CEO Nigel Travis said those sandwiches — which include fried chicken and grilled cheese varieties — shouldn't be considered lunch. The strategy is a reflection of how people are increasingly eating several smaller meals a day, rather than sticking to just breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Texas toast grilled cheese sandwiches have 510 calories, if you don't include ham or bacon. [...] Lauri Boone, a registered dietitian, in the Rochester, New York, area, said people should think of snacks as a "small, satisfying portion of food that can help curb hunger or a craving between meals." The turkey, cheddar and bacon sandwich has 440 calories and the chain recently introduced a grilled chicken flatbread sandwich that has 360 calories.
