A new Glastonbury restaurant is giving fast-casual diners something different to track: not their expanding waistlines, but their daily macronutrients.<\/p>\n
Macros Healthy Restaurant, founded by husband-and-wife team Michael and Chelsea Osgood, has opened at 2858 Main St., across from Edge Fitness. It offers customizable bowls built around nutrition transparency and macronutrient tracking.<\/p>\n
The fast-casual concept features proprietary digital tools, including a macro calculator that determines daily macronutrient needs based on age, activity level and health goals, and a meal calculator that displays real-time nutritional information as customers build their meals.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople want to eat healthier, but they\u2019re overwhelmed by conflicting information and tired of guessing,\u201d Michael Osgood said. \u201cWe wanted to create a place where you don\u2019t have to wonder what\u2019s in your food, where it came from or how it supports your goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
The restaurant distinguishes itself by avoiding seed oils, using only olive oil or avocado oil for cooking, and preparing all proteins in-house. Menu options include goal-oriented bowls such as the Heart Health Bowl, Antioxidant Bowl and High-Protein Bowl.<\/p>\n
Macros will host a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony Jan. 10 at noon, featuring raffles, a DJ and food samples.<\/p>\n
The restaurant is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and is closed Sundays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new Glastonbury restaurant is giving fast-casual diners something different to track: not their expanding waistlines, but their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":343657,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[49,48,84,395],"class_list":{"0":"post-343656","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nutrition","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-health","11":"tag-nutrition"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=343656"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343656\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/343657"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=343656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=343656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=343656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
