How to View the Costs of Jenny Craig's Food

The Jenny Craig diet system is based on a selection of prepackaged meals, so members know that they are getting the right balance of nutrients as well as a low number of calories. However, many potential members are afraid of the high cost of food on this program. A week of meals can run between $90 and $150, depending on your choices. Before you run away without trying it, take into account these different ways of viewing the cost of the Jenny Craig program.

Instructions

• 1

  Look at your current food bill. Though it may seem like a high price for food, many members will find that they are spending at least as much currently as they would spend on the Jenny Craig food.

• 2

  Part of the cost of the Jenny Craig program comes from the added convenience the food gives you. If you always use your schedule as an excuse not to eat right, the program may give you the ease of use that you need.

• 3

  Consider alternatives. You do not have to purchase everything from Jenny Craig. You may want to buy your own multivitamin or snack foods to reduce the cost slightly.

• 4

  Think about how much your health is worth to you. If you are having trouble learning how to eat right on your own, trying a plan like Jenny Craig may give you the boundaries that you need to lose weight.

• 5

  Medical bills for the complications of carrying the extra weight may not be a concern now, but the sooner you can improve your health the better off you will be.
