Fat Chance

Knowfat Lifestyle Grille Opens

You know the scenario. All too well.

There you are, faithfully sticking to your new healthy-eating regime. You’ve got your carb intake on low, your protein on high, and your temptation level set on cruise control. Keep going like this, and you’ll be a shining paragon of nutritional behavior.

And then it happens: a deadline. No time to eat. Except at McFattie’s around the corner.

But what if in its place was a health-conscious fast food joint that served tasty dishes, complete with full nutritional resumes? And what if said spot was also a snazzy, colorful retail store, selling healthy snacks and foods?

That’s exactly what you’ll find at the new Knowfat Lifestyle Grille. And through the eatery doesn’t advocate any particular diet, it does serve only healthy fare (from chipotle grilled chicken sandwiches to bison burgers, chocolate-peanut butter smoothies to chicken meatballs and air fries — baked until crispy). And with every order, you get a list of calories, protein, carbs, fiber, and sodium.

So you know not only what you’re eating, but also an entirely different scenario.

Knowfat Lifestyle Grille, 530 Washington Street, Downtown Crossing (617-451-0043 or knowfat.com).
