About two-thirds of Burger King Worldwide Inc. stores in the U.S. and Canada are phasing out Satisfries, the restaurant chain's lower-calorie alternative introduced less than a year ago, according to Bloomburg News.

Satisfries will continue to be offered at 2,500 Burger King locations as a permanent menu item.

The fries are designed to absorb less oil while cooking. A small box of the crinkle-cut fries has 270 calories, 11 grams of fat and 300 milligrams of sodium, while regular French fries have 340 calories, 15 grams of fat and 480 milligrams of sodium.
