WHAT: Burger King Satisfries
STATS: A small serving contains 270 calories and 11 fat grams. Visit bk.com.
THE SKINNY: Maybe one of your resolutions is to do more walking around and less drive-throughing.
But if you find yourself at a Burger King fast food window, there’s a lighter option available (well, for a limited time only). The chain has introduced Satisfries, french fries with 40 percent less fat and 30 percent fewer calories than the regular version.
The crinkle-cut Satisfries are quite thick and starchy - maybe a bit too thick and starchy. And not quite greasy (although isn’t that the point?) and salty enough for my preference. But not bad at all. They’re actually rather Satisfrying.
We’d say they’re fit for a trying-to-be-more-fit king.
