Check this box just for packing a lunch. |
|
|
| Give yourself a check mark for each of the four food groups that are in the lunch: |
|
Vegetables and Fruit |
|
Grain Products |
|
Milk and Alternatives |
|
Meat and Alternatives |
|
| If you answer yes to the following questions, give yourself a checkmark: |
|
Is there a dark green or orange vegetable choice such as broccoli, bell pepper, spinach, romaine lettuce or carrot? |
|
Is there a whole grain choice? |
|
Is there milk or a lower fat milk alternative? |
|
Is there a lower fat meat, or meat alternative such as eggs or legumes? |
|
| Add another checkmark if: |
|
The beverage option is plain water, milk or 100% fruit or vegetable juice or milk. |
|
The serving sizes are reasonable. |
|
Foods higher in calories, fat, sugar or salt (the ones that are not part of the four food groups) are absent or represent only a small portion of the whole lunch. |
|
The cold food is kept cold and the hot food is kept hot until lunch time. |
|
There is a little something special to make the lunch more enjoyable. |
