I know when I was wondering just what it would be like to diet on Jenny Craig one of the main things I wondered about was the food – of course I can’t come around and give you all samples but I can take pictures so this post is dedicated to ‘what I ate today.’ (Well actually what I ate yesterday – as I thought it was a little late to post when I had finished it.)
Breakfast.
Muesli with Raisins & Hazelnuts.
1/2 milk*. (1/2 fill the spoon)
1 fruit*.
I’m a huge fan of Muesli and while it obviously isn’t topped of with normal sprinkling of extra raisins, dry apricots and a few extra nuts (yes I am one of those people) it is still really palatable. It has a mix of oats and flakes meaning it also has a mixture of textures. Snack.1/2 milk*.
1 fruit*.
Lunch.Noodles in cream source.
Salad (at least a cup full)*
I’ve been loving this – I have a tendency to mix it up with my salad which is unlike me as normally I have to have everything separate, these come in a dry powdered / pasta form and you just add boiling water (basically just like a pot noodle). Simple quick and oh so tasty. Snack.Cereal Bar with Wholegrain and White Chocolate.
Not really much you can say that isn’t in the description on this – I do think though these afternoon snacks are what are keeping most of my cravings at day I am awful for wanting a bit of chocolate (or a lot) and this really is just enough to make me feel satisfied in that area. Dinner.Roast Chicken with Mashed Potato.
Vegetables (at least a cup full)*.
The first dinner I tried was this one and I still stick to the fact it’s one of my favourites, the chicken was lovely and moist, mash tastes creamy which is probably down to the fact it has the added extras of crème fraiche and butter.Snack.1 milk (1 low fat yoghurt)*
I’ve been loving Onken when it comes to my yoghurt treats – Strawberry and Mango and Apple are now a must have in my fridge. Hopefully that will give you an idea of what you get to eat each day – remember there are free foods and limited foods you can add if you are feeling peckish. I didn’t receive all the foods that Jenny Craig offers and I have to admit I would love to try a few of the ones I have been missing in total there are:5 different breakfasts13 different lunches22 different dinners and5 different snacks.Meaning you don’t have to eat the same thing day after day.
*Products marked with a * indicated products you have to supply on top of the food from Jenny Craig.**I have been sent a 2 week supply of Jenny Craig to review in return for my opinions these are however honest as always.
This looks fab. I have been debating the Jenny Craig diet so this post has been really helpful – will go and have another look in to it now. The Chicken looks amazing x
If there’s any questions you have feel free to ask them – I’m trying over these 2 weeks to answer all the ones I had but of course they may well be very different to others.
Although the food looks nice is it not very expensive. I used to love WW then they canaged the point system and im baffled now x x
This looks really good, a lot more to eat in a day then you’d think too.
That’s a really good amount of food
The cereal bar looks nice! x
Actually looks really nice, hope you continue to enjoy the food
xx
I always find diets like this too regimented for me as I’m constantly out and about but desperate to lose some weight before my holiday. Is it convenient enough or do you have to be home to have the meals?
It is expensive I believe it comes in at around £11 a day when full price – worth looking out for the offers they do though they have had it at 50% off for 2 weeks for a while. It’s not something I could afford I have to admit but if I could I would do it.. So I think it’s worth the money as you get a lot of support and they have some great ideas in the pipeline on top of all your meals. But it’s being able to afford it that’s the downside.
Definitely I haven’t felt hungry at all – and if you do you have your free foods and limited foods that you can add on as well..
I did add in some extra fruit I have to admit with the snack so I had a bit of a mix for a difference.
It’s lovely honestly – and very chocolatey hehe x
Thank you 3 days left now I actually think I will miss it. x
You can change around when you the meals – I’ve posted this in the given order but I can’t do a large meal at night so I always have lunch at dinner and dinner at lunch. To cook you either need a microwave or a kettle. Most dinners are kettle based and most lunch’s microwave so I think with a bit of jiggling around as long as you have access to either of those it’s workable.xx
You are so lucky to get to try this fab diet out!
I really am – hopefully it will help people in some way when it comes to ‘is Jenny Craig’ right for me..
I like the look of the lunch! Hmm.
I’m currently starting my calorie counting diet again!
This one and the Creamy Mushroom are lovely.
Eeeekkkk good luck!! I’m not good with counting calories.
Your dinner looks lovely!
Oh wow, that looks really yummy. especially the chicken dinner. Interesting that you are likeing to mix your noodles with salad
I have to say if I could eat all those food types then I would be signing up it looks that nice! It’s a really good amount of food in a day too. I look forward to reading/seeing your other days eating Jenny Craig. xx
