School Meals: Building Blocks for Healthy Children
Appendix M
Sample Menus
This appendix contains four weeks of sample menus for breakfast and lunch for elementary, middle, and high school and a prototype of a menu checking tool developed by the committee. In some cases in the menus that follow, food descriptions are more limited than they should be when planning actual menus. The committee did not have access to a complete, up-to-date nutrient data base that covers all the many food products available for use in school meals, and these products differ somewhat among school districts. See discussion of limitations of the nutrient analyses in under “Criterion 1” in Chapter 9. The food items used in the menus were derived from the third School Nutrition Dietary Assessment study database and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies.

PURPOSE OF THE SAMPLE MENUS
The sample menus that appear in this appendix are meant to illustrate how the recommended standards for meal planning may be translated into menus in a variety of circumstances. They are not intended to serve as cycle menus. Sample menus were planned using the recommended standards for meal planning (Table S-2). Additional elements that were considered included the following:
Customer appeal and preferences
Color and appearance on the line
Variety in flavors and food textures
Combinations that go well together
Examples of selections that may reflect
Region of country
Demographics (age of students, ethnic background, religious considerations)
Examples of foods that are similar to popular fast foods, advertised foods; attractively prepackaged foods
Examples of foods that are easy to eat in the available time and eating space
Cost
Examples that may be suitable for food service operations that differ in
Organizational structure (kitchen and cafeteria)
Equipment
Staff
School environment—serving and eating space and time
