Shake Shack is officially leaning into the macro era with the launch of its Good Fit Menu, a curated set of familiar items with modifications designed to fit popular nutrition preferences. The brand is calling out high protein options, gluten free swaps, and lettuce wrapped builds as the core pillars, with messaging that directly references the rise of GLP-1 style eating habits.

This is not Shake Shack reinventing its food. It is Shake Shack packaging customization into a simple, “tap and order” menu so customers can get higher protein and lower refined carbs with less decision fatigue.

What the Good Fit Menu Includes

The Good Fit Menu centers on a few types of orders:

  • Lettuce wrapped versions of core sandwiches

  • A gluten free bun option for select builds

  • A vegetarian option designed to be higher in protein than a typical veggie swap

  • Protein-forward “Double” builds that push the protein number into serious territory

Shake Shack also emphasizes that the Good Fit menu is built to be quick to order, so it does not slow down lines or create a complicated customization process.

Macro Callouts That Stand Out

The brand highlights protein numbers up to 52g on certain menu items, which is unusually direct for a fast casual chain. Coverage has called out examples like lettuce wrapped doubles that keep carbs relatively low while pushing protein high, plus gluten free options for customers who want a bun but not the standard bread.

This is a signal that mainstream restaurants are paying attention to how many customers now order around protein targets, not just taste.

Why Shake Shack Is Doing This Now

Three forces are colliding:

  • The cultural shift toward high protein eating

  • Growing consumer behavior changes linked to GLP-1 medications and appetite management

  • The expectation that restaurants should offer better “default” options, not just secret hacks

Shake Shack is essentially turning the most common menu hacks into an official menu tier.

Final Take

The Good Fit Menu is a smart move because it meets customers where they already are. It keeps the Shack experience intact, but lowers the friction for people who want a higher protein order without scrolling nutrition PDFs or building a custom sandwich every time.
