PROCESS FOR SELECTING THE REPRESENTATIVE BASELINE MENUS

  • Using SNDA-III data, limit the sample to schools that provided menus for 5 days.1

  • Eliminate outliers—schools that served meals with calorie or nutrient content that was less than the 5th percentile or more than the 95th percentile.2

1

SNDA-III collected data for a full school week. Most schools provided data for 5 days; however, because of holidays and other school closures, some schools provided data for only 3 or 4 days.

2

Outliers were defined based on meal (breakfast or lunch), school level (elementary, middle, or high), and menu planning method (nutrient- or food-based). Nutrients considered (protein, vitamins A and C, calcium, and iron) were those specified in existing School Meals Initiative regulations. Initially, more rigorous specifications had been set for nutrient content, but the results were not usable because of a large number of cells with only zero or one menu set.
