Grocery Foods
At Jenny Craig, you're learning about portion control, balance and variety in food choices. Your Jenny Craig Menu features a healthy balance between Jenny's Cuisine and your own grocery foods. Here is an overview to enable you to make the best choices for your grocery foods.
Vegetables and Fruit
Eat across the rainbow for health benefits - enjoy a variety of colors of fruits and vegetables to get a variety of nutrients.
Non-starchy vegetables, which are very low in calories, are "free" - eat all you like!
Meats
High fat meats should be consumed in moderation because they are high in saturated fat and cholesterol.
Fish, such as tuna, salmon and mackerel, can be a good source of omega-three fatty acids, which may protect against heart disease, arthritis and Alzheimer's disease.
Milk
Milk and yogurt are good sources of calcium, which helps protect your bones and prevent osteoporosis.
You can use an Anytime Bar to replace one of your milk servings.
Starches
To boost your fiber and satisfy your appetite, look for grain products that list whole/sprouted/malted wheat or another whole grain as the first ingredient and contain at least two grams of fiber per serving.
High-fiber foods can help you feel more satisfied and protect against heart disease, certain cancers and digestive disorders.
Fats
For weight loss, it is a good idea to moderate intake of all types of fat, because a gram of fat contains more than twice the calories of a gram of protein or carbohydrate.
To reduce your risk for heart disease, choose mostly unsaturated fats over saturated fats and limit intake of trans fats and cholesterol.
