A Points guide to ordering at Tim Hortons®

Ordering at Tims is a Canadian mainstay. Here we’ve rounded up some of the most familiar menu items and their Points values so you can keep within your budget, or splurge!

Getting the most out of your Tim Hortons order

Adding a piece of fruit to your order at Timmies will keep you feeling fuller, longer.

Keep a stash of fruit in your car, purse or desk drawer for easy access to high-fibre favourites such as bananas, apples, pears, and oranges.

If you love sweetened coffee but are looking for an option with a smaller Points value than granulated sugar, try adding a zero Points sweetener such as Stevia, light agave or Splenda (which is used by Tim Hortons.)

Remember, you can also ask for half a sugar!

Coffee, Tea, and Other Hot Beverages

For many Canadians, there’s nothing better than a hot Tim Hortons coffee on a cold winter morning, especially if you happen to be sitting on the bleachers at an ice rink. The Points values of certain coffee orders, namely the now-infamous double-double, are surprisingly high. Ranging from 8 Points for a small double-double, which includes 16 grams of sugar and 8 grams of fat, to 15 points for a large double-double containing 27 grams of sugar and 15 grams of fat.

If you love Tim Hortons coffee with cream and sugar but understandably don’t want to make the switch to black, try swapping the cream for 2 percent milk and add a single sugar instead of two (or Splenda, if you prefer a sweeter drink.)

Because cream has such a distinct mouthfeel, you may find the transition to milk easier if you begin with a combination of one milk and one cream.

Cold Beverages

Donuts and Timbits®

It wouldn’t be a trek to Tim Hortons without at least a Timbit or two. As it turns out, Timbits are among the lowest Points when it comes to enjoying donuts from Timmies.All Timbits have a Points value between 2 and 5.

Baked Goods

Grilled Breakfast Wraps

The Tim Hortons Farmer’s Breakfast Wrap is stuffed with an egg omelette, sausage, hash browns, cheddar cheese, and spicy mayo.

While this loaded wrap might be tempting, it comes in at 20-23 Points (and 41 grams of fat.) If you are looking for an option with less Points, try ordering the egg and cheese or egg and bacon breakfast wraps.

English Muffin Breakfast Sandwiches

Biscuit Breakfast Sandwiches

Tim Hortons Breakfast Sandwiches on English muffins run on the lower side of Points and least amount of saturated fat, the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on an English muffin is the clear winner nutrition-wise.

If you eat this sandwich at work regularly, try keeping a jar of salsa or a bottle of your favourite hot sauce in the fridge for a tasty zero Points addition to your meal.
