Questions Fréquentes
How many calories should a school lunch have?
The USDA targets 550-650 calories for grades K-5 and 600-700 for grades 6-8. For packed lunches, aim for about 25-30% of the daily calorie target. An active 8-year-old needs roughly 1,400-1,600 calories per day.
How do I keep food safe in a lunchbox?
Use an insulated lunch bag with a frozen ice pack. Pack cold items near the ice pack. If including hot food, use an insulated thermos preheated with boiling water. Perishable food should not sit above 40°F for more than 2 hours.
What are good protein options for school lunches?
Turkey or chicken slices, hard-boiled eggs, cheese sticks, nut butter (if allowed), hummus with pita, yogurt, beans, and edamame are all good portable protein sources for kids.
