The Jenny Craig weight loss program offers many menu options, such as planned, personalized and seasonal. Daily caloric levels vary from 1,200 to 2,300, using either frozen or travel/non-frozen Jenny’s Cuisine food items. Each day on the program, a client’s menu plan consists of a breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack from Jenny’s Cuisine, as well as additional grocery store foods, such as fruit, vegetables and dairy. Multiplus multivitamins or an Anytime Bar are encouraged daily.
Breakfast
The nutritional content of a Jenny's Cuisine breakfast food varies from 150 to 220 calories, 1.5 to 6 g of fat and 125 to 500 mg of sodium. In comparison, a breakfast meal at a fast food restaurant averages 450 calories, 15 g of fat and 600 mg of sodium, making a Jenny Craig breakfast item a healthier choice. The top-rated breakfast items are French toast, frosted oats cereal, cranberry almond cereal and the sunshine sandwich.
Lunch
The chicken salad kit, broccoli and cheese potato, turkey burger and personal pizza are some items offered on the Jenny's Cuisine lunch menu. Lunch items vary between 210 and 280 calories, 220 to 590 mg of sodium and 4.5 to 9 g of fat each. Eating a Jenny's Cuisine lunch item would be similar to the calorie and sodium content of a six-piece Chicken McNugget but with at least 8 g less fat.
Dinner
Jenny's Cuisine dinner entrees average the highest calories of all the menu items, ranging from 190 in the mashed potatoes with beef to 300 in the meatloaf with barbecue sauce. Additional options, such as chicken fettuccine, chicken fajitas, fish and chips and Salisbury steak, are available.
Desserts and Snacks
Desserts and snacks are used in the Jenny Craig menu plan as between-meal food selections. Lemon cake, s'mores bar and triple chocolate cheesecake are among the most popular items in this category. The nutritional content of a dessert or snack averages 130 calories, which is comparable to eating four thin mint cookies.
