In addition to the unique variety of menu items Jack in the Box offers, they also have some standout nutritious options and low calorie orders that fit right into a healthy diet.
We'll be exploring all the best healthy choices at Jack in the Box in this list, plus ideas for making your orders more balanced and calorie-smart. So without further ado, let's get right into it!
1. Garden Salad with Grilled Chicken
Nutritional Info, no dressing or croutons:
- 220 Calories
- 9g Fat
- 14g Carbs
- 4g Sugar
- 4g Fiber
- 23g Protein
Jack in the Box's healthiest and lowest calorie menu item is the garden salad with grilled chicken. It comes with mixed greens, grape tomatoes, carrots, shredded cheddar cheese, and grilled chicken strips for lean protein.
The salad typically has seasoned croutons, too, which will add 70 calories to the total count. The buttermilk ranch dressing has more calories than the salad itself, so I recommend swapping it with low-fat balsamic vinaigrette for just 25 calories.
2. Grilled Chicken Jack Wrap
Nutritional Info, estimated:
- 290 Calories
- 13g Fat
- 23g Carbs
- 2g Sugar
- 1g Fiber
- 17g Protein
This newest option at Jack in the Box gives you a choice between spicy or classic grilled chicken strips wrapped up with shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, pickles, Good Good sauce, and buttermilk ranch in a flour tortilla. Besides the calorie count, the full nutritional breakdown for these wraps isn't available yet, so the estimation above is based on similar chicken wraps.
3. Chicken Fajita Pita
Nutritional Info:
- 330 Calories
- 9g Fat
- 35g Carbs
- 4g Sugar
- 4g Fiber
- 27g Protein
A healthier alternative to a grilled chicken sandwich, the chicken fajita pita features whole grain pita bread stuffed with grilled chicken strips, melty cheddar cheese, lettuce, grilled onions, and tomato. The fire roasted salsa on the side brings some extra heat and added nutrients, but you can also skip it for 10 calories less.
4. Southwest Salad with Grilled Chicken
Nutritional Info, no dressing or crunchy toppings:
- 340 Calories
- 13g Fat
- 28g Carbs
- 4g Sugar
- 7g Fiber
- 29g Protein
The Southwest chicken salad is one of the highest protein options on the menu and also provides a good balance of healthy carbs and fiber. This filling salad is made with grilled chicken strips, mixed greens, tomatoes, shredded carrots, cheddar cheese, roasted corn, and black beans.
Ordered without the spicy corn sticks and southwest dressing, it has just 340 calories. The corn sticks will add an extra 60 calories, and the southwest dressing 190, though you can opt for the low-fat balsamic vinaigrette instead at 25 calories.
5. 2 Tacos

The 99-cent taco deal at Jack in the Box features two regular-sized tacos filled with seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, melty American cheese slices, and spicy, savory taco sauce. They have the same ingredients as the loaded tiny tacos Jack in the Box is famous for but at a fraction of the calorie count. Oh, and if you want to cut down on the carbs, you can order the tacos without the shells and eat them as a big taco bowl.
6. Breakfast Jack

A step above the basic Breakfast Jack, the Supreme Croissant features a flaky and buttery croissant bun filled with grilled ham and smoked bacon or sausage and a fried egg, and melty cheese. Even with all that goodness, it still manages to be one of the lowest calorie breakfast options!
8. Jr. Jumbo Jack

A classic hamburger with all the veggie fixings, the Jr. Jumbo Jack has a grilled beef patty, tomato, pickle, lettuce, onions, ketchup, and mayo on a bakery bun. It's got 400 calories when served as is, but you can cut the whole meal down by 80 calories when you order it without mayo.

A slice of melty American cheese brings the regular Jr. Jumbo Jack burger up by 40 calories. If you like a sharper-tasting cheese, you can get it with a slice of Swiss-style cheese instead for the same calorie count. Be sure to order it with Swiss-style cheese and not real Swiss cheese, which has 30 calories more.
11. Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger

If you're craving a bacon ultimate cheeseburger jack but aren't a fan of the 900+ calorie count, this lighter version is a great choice. It has the same components - a juicy beef patty, crunchy smoked bacon, American cheese, ketchup, and mayo - at half the calories. For a healthier meal with less saturated fat, order it without mayo and with an added side salad for extra veggies.
12. Grilled Chicken Sandwich

This classic grilled chicken sandwich has a seasoned grilled chicken filet, lettuce, and tomatoes drizzled in signature Good Good sauce on toasted buttery sourdough slices. It has exactly 500 calories, but you can cut it down by ordering your sandwich without butter or getting no sauce.
