Years ago I was on Jenny and did rather well but over time the food got tiring. I was eating the same thing day after day. I wrote to Jenny back then and read many many posts on the Forums and now I'm going to give it another try and I see that nothing has changed. With so many meat alternatives available these days I am shocked that Jenny hasn't realized the growing population of Vegetarians or those who just want to cut down on their meat intake. I'm sure it would be in Jenny's favor to put a little effort into offering a few more meatless options. How many meat eaters love Jenny's Mac & Cheese - a bunch. The optins of other meals like that are endless. I just don't think we are being heard and taken serious. I hope all in favor of more meatless offering should stand up and be heard - contact Jenny again and again until we get some action!

I'll make it easy for you - here's the link:

Hello fellow vegetarians,

I have been on Jenny for 7 weeks now, and vegetarian for nearly 5 years. I do get a little tired of only 4 choices for lunch. Do I want pizza, potato, enchiladas, or pizza today? I would love to see more veggie burgers, "chicken" patties, etc. Thanks for raising awareness on this topic. As I live with a die-hard carnivore, it can be hard to be thought of as "one of those people" so I appreciate being able to talk with other vegetarians. I will go to the link listed above to make my voice heard.

I emailed JC Customer Service requesting additional vegetarian options and just received this response:

Thank you for contacting Jenny Craig.


Jenny Craig does not offer a vegetarian menu. However, we do offer
meatless items, which contain no animal by-products. These items are
symbolized by a Carrot icon next to the cuisine items. While these
items contain no animal by-products, it is important for us to state
that certain items within our meatless menu contain dairy and egg as
well as some animal-derived enzymes. These animal-derived products
include, but are not limited to, amylase, buttermilk, calcium lactate,
L-Cysteine, egg, gelatin, honey, lactose, milk, cheese, rennet, sodium
caseinate and whey and are designed to meet the needs of lacto-ovo
vegetarians. For additional information, please contact our Customer
Care department at 1-800-JennyCare.


Best wishes on your weight management goals,

Disappointing. I originally bought only vegetarian options but ended up leaving after a couple months when I tired of being limited to pizza or pasta. I since returned and started buying non-vegetarian products, pulling out the meat and in some cases replacing it with Boca or Morning Star meat substitutes. This still goes against my primary reason for giving up meat 3 years ago... the treatment of the animals and the safety of their meat once they've been pumped full of hormones and antibiotics.... What a dilemma!!

Thought I was the only one feeling like this. Thanks, guys. we just keep trying.

Great ideas. I am not a vegetarian, but I would more than welcome several choices for vegetarian meals. So much to be said about the health of not eating meats. Sadly, Jenny has not done anything about the frequent requests of their clients. Maybe, one day, we can hope!
