Jack in the box grilled chicken strips

[djsaad1]

These macros for 4 grilled chicken strips with no sauce seem great, what am I missing here? Is there a reason I should still not eat this on a cut? I am in the car a lot for work, it would be nice to get these quick and eat while driving.

Looks fine to me. I would try to avoid eating it everyday as you could just buy some chicken tenderloins, grill em and pack em up thus saving some $$$ in the long run.


How many calories are you taking in on a daily basis?

As far as drive-through type stuff goes, you won't get much better than this.

[BenW22]

Looks good, but making them at home would be cheaper and you control how much sodium is in them (if that's something you're worried about)

I commend the self-control to not get anything else from a fast food joint. Even the smell of french fries would throw me off....


Yea just the idea to save some money would be my only concern; as sodium intake does not scare me.

[kingof_queens]

I've eaten quite a few of those in my time. Great for keto too, just throw ranch or mayo on them, and they're really good!

Kind of expensive, but it's a great way to stick to your cut ninja style when out eating with friends, or if you're far from home and need a bite to eat.

[djsaad1]

Thanks guys! Won't be eating these too often since they are probably not that filling anyways, but nice to know that if I am in a big hurry I could just go through the drive through and get these.

[BellaValerina]

In a pinch they are great. Stay away from preservatives IMO. Quest Protein Bars might be a good fall back for you.

[WonderPug]

Stay away from preservatives IMO.

Do you know that Na is a preservative?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is Na? (just curious)

Jack in the Box is awesome. Wish we had them here in PA.


I remember back in the day Tom Prince used to always eat at these places.

just because food is coming from a fast food place doesn't mean its bad mcDonalds has several good choices to but the key is always getting grilled not fried and skipping the sauces, cheeses, extras.

[MikeVC]

i had them the other day i thought it looked pretty healthy guess i was right

[NoS_oUtLaSt]

yep not a bad choice as all as long as you can take the sodium. Just drink plenty of water

[binks09]

Where are you getting those nutrition facts? According the the Jack in the Box website, the 4 piece grilled chicken strips are 250 calories (without sauce).

[kingof_queens]

Sodium.

Thank you.

Pug is such a nerd.

Me and Pug are like this:

[Jgray1319]

The last fast food joint Im having a hard time giving up is zaxby's. On smell of their and it's hard to stay away

[MooseLaddin]

@ synthetic

I'm talking about pure calories, grams of protein, grams of fat not hardcore ingredients. The grilled chicken snack wrap for example is like 200 calories, 15 grams of protein, 3 grams of fat when you get it grilled without cheese/sauce. But if you get it deep fried its less than 10 grams of protein with a little bit more fat and calories with the same stipulation of no sauce/cheese.

This is awesome. I stopped eating jack in the box because of the amazing amounts of fat, more the mc donalds. Jack in the box is close to my house and now I can pickup some low fat high protein foods.

Repped

[DreamUFC88]

Just went to jack in the box and had these. It was over $5 for just the chicken strips and no drink or anything else. I was pissed! Still real good for fastfood, but I wont be eating these often.

I wonder if jack in the box changed them recently because you are right, the facts on the jack in the box site are a little worst.

[BookMonkey]

Personally, I just don't see the point in spending $3-4 on 6-8 ounces of chicken.

You are right, but when I can charge my on the run food to the company it doesn't really matter to me that it really isn't worth it. That is why I am trying to find somewhat healthy options at fast food restaurants.
