Three complete Jack in the Box meals under 600 calories

Under 600, the most-protein entrée — the Chicken Strips (Grilled), 250 cal — leaves 350 calories for a side. Entrée first, then a side, then a drink if there is room — the same greedy order the MinMax app uses (water unless a shake adds 10 g of protein). The most filling and lightest meals are unchanged from under 500; the other uses the extra 100 calories.
