14. Grilled Chicken and Dressing

Fast food joint: Jack in the Box
Menu item: Four-piece grilled chicken and dressing
Calories: 298

If you’re looking for cheap, there’s Jack in the Box’s .99 cent tacos. But if you’re searching for something healthy that won’t break the budget, you don’t have to go anywhere else. Believe it or not, Jack in the Box has that, too! As we mentioned here before, when wanting to lower your calorie intake, always select grilled chicken, not fried or breaded. Jack in the Box’s four-piece grilled chicken strips is only 250 calories with 7g of fat. And instead of ranch, ask for the low-fat balsamic vinaigrette dressing (48 calories, 2g fat).

If you’re up for the challenge, skip the dressing all together. The chicken strips will taste a bit dry though, but it’s up to you! Maybe walking a few extra steps that day will take care of the extra 48 calories, making it worth it!
