Burger King Low Calorie French Fries Comes To Its Menu

Burger King will be adding a low-calorie french fries on Tuesday. The burger giant chain said, the fries has about 20 percent fewer calories than its regular fries.

How much calories will the small order of the new fries be? 270 calories. That is down from the 340 calories of a regular small french fries order.

The difference is that the proportions of the batter’s ingredients are adjusted so that it blocks out more oil, Burger King says. The crinkle-cut shape is in part so workers will be able to easily distinguish them from the regular fries when they’re deep frying them together.

“You need to make things as simple as possible,” says Eric Hirschhorn, Burger King’s chief marketing officer.

The suggested price for a small order of Satisfries is $1.89, compared with $1.59 for regular fries. That’s a 19 percent markup.
