School Nutrition
Breakfast and lunch are planned to offer nutritious meals, which average less than 30 percent of calories from fat if items from all food groups are eaten. The serving sizes are appropriate for the specific age groups. Items are offered in each of the food groups and students are allowed to decline items in two of the following groups:

• Meat/Meat Alternate – yogurt and cheese are included in this group
• Milk – skim, chocolate skim, 2 percent, 1 percent and whole milk
• Breads/Grains – school made rolls, buns, rice and pasta
• Vegetables – a hot vegetable and salad or raw vegetables
• Fruit – at least two fruit choices

Offer vs. Serve
To encourage students to eat healthy, a variety of foods are offered. A lunch consists of a maximum of five items, one from each group. For the items to count as a meal, the students must select one item from at least three of the food groups listed above.
