The tacos are the famous cheap calories here: 170 each, so a 2-taco side is 340. The lowest-calorie burger is the Hamburger at 330, and the highest is the Bacon Double Smashed Jack at 1,120.

How to build a low-calorie order

Ranked by impact, all from the official PDF:

1. Iced tea instead of a large shake: saves 820 to 990. A large Oreo shake is 990 calories, nearly two Jumbo Jacks.
2. Jumbo Jack instead of the Bacon Double Smashed Jack: saves 600 (520 vs 1,120).
3. Small fries instead of large: saves 250 (300 vs 550). For curly fries the saving is 200.
4. Sourdough Grilled Chicken Club instead of Jack's Spicy Chicken Sandwich: saves 190 (500 vs 690) and adds 6g of protein.
5. Grilled Jack Wrap instead of Crispy: saves 110 (270 vs 380).
6. Balsamic instead of Buttermilk Ranch dressing: saves 100 (150 vs 250).
7. Frank's buffalo sauce instead of a creamy dip: saves 85 to 105. Frank's is 5 calories; the creamy cups are 90 to 110.

Five orders under 600 calories

1. The strip box: 3 Crispy Chicken Strips + Frank's buffalo sauce. 470 + 5 = 475 calories, 33g protein
2. The Southwest bowl of greens: Southwest Salad with Grilled Chicken + Creamy Southwest dressing. 290 + 190 = 480 calories, 31g protein
3. The grilled club: Sourdough Grilled Chicken Club + iced tea. 500 + 0 = 500 calories, 33g protein
4. The taco snack: 2 Tacos + 4 Chicken Nuggets. 340 + 190 = 530 calories, 20g protein
5. The double wrap: 2 Classic Grilled Jack Wraps + iced tea. 270 + 270 + 0 = 540 calories, 30g protein

A Jumbo Jack (520) fits under 600 on its own, but not with any size of fries.

Five highest-protein orders

1. Sourdough Grilled Chicken Club + Garden Salad with Grilled Chicken: 500 + 210 = 710 calories, 58g protein
2. Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger: 930 calories, 55g protein
3. 5 Crispy Chicken Strips + Frank's buffalo sauce: 780 + 5 = 785 calories, 54g protein
4. Ultimate Cheeseburger: 840 calories, 47g protein
5. Double Jack: 830 calories, 46g protein

The chicken strips are the best fried protein at Jack in the Box: 33g for 470 calories in the 3-piece. The Chicken Sandwich looks similar but has only 15g of protein for 560. To compare across chains, try the high-protein fast food finder.

How to log Jack in the Box in Nouri

Jack in the Box is a 1 a.m. menu, and 1 a.m. is when nobody logs anything. The order is also messy: a burger, a side of tacos, half of someone's curly fries. A database search turns that into five lookups. A sentence turns it into one.

So I type it the way I ordered it: "jumbo jack with cheese, two tacos, medium curly fries, ate about half." Nouri splits it into lines with calories, macros, and its reasoning for each, so I can see it counted two tacos and halved the fries. Two tacos at midnight is a sentence, not a confession: tell Nouri and go to bed. Nouri is iPhone (iOS only), and you can start with a free trial.

With the bag on the passenger seat, Siri is easier: "Hey Siri, track food in Nouri," then the order, with the phone still locked. A photo of the spread works too, and Nouri writes out what it sees first, so you can fix "fries" to "curly fries" before anything is counted. Each meal also gets fiber, sugar, and sodium, plus a vitamin scorecard, which is useful here: the Bacon Double Smashed Jack alone is 2,070mg of sodium.

If you are chasing protein, turn on Prioritize Protein. Your target moves from 1.0 to 1.2 grams per pound of body weight: a 180 lb person goes from 180g to 216g, and 5 chicken strips cover 54g. On Sunday evening, your Nouri Report puts the late-night run in context: average calories and protein against your targets, days on target, and one focus for the week ahead.
