"From its mysterious tacos to seasonal specialties, Jack in the Box has no shortage of sought-after food. Like many others, the chain has recently expanded the "protein" portion of its menu. This includes two so-called protein bowls and a pair of wraps, which have left fans feeling confused and misled as to the true nutritional value of the items. The four new offerings in this protein push include a fajita protein bowl, grilled chicken teriyaki bowl, fajita Jack wrap, and classic Jack wrap."
"Among a myriad of critical comments online, one Reddit user says, "No way these are 35 grams of protein...my bowl has one piece of chicken in it." Another Redditor states, "Weird to brand it this way. When I see things branded as 'protein', it usually means all protein and no carbs. These are rice bowls... full of carbs," to which a fellow Reddit user replied, "Exactly! Super misleading, I think.""
Jack in the Box introduced two protein bowls and two wraps: a fajita protein bowl, grilled chicken teriyaki bowl, fajita Jack wrap, and classic Jack wrap. Customers report confusion and feel misled about the items' true protein content and nutritional value. Online commenters allege the teriyaki bowl is a rebrand and question claims of 35 grams of protein, noting small amounts of chicken and rice-heavy bowls. Several users describe difficulty finding specific nutrition information and assert the offerings contradict a marketed "lighter" option. One user warns that the bowls contain minimal chicken for their price. Some menu items, like the grilled chicken sandwich, still provide over 30 grams of protein.
