Welcome to the Health-e Meal Planner demonstration site. This tool allows you to put together a meal from the food items served in your school district. All School Districts are required to plan meals that meet specific nutritient standards. Those nutrients are averaged over the course of one week to determine if the menu is complete. The menus are analyzed as planned. However, students can take and eat less than the full meal, and often do. With this tool, you can put together only the items your student actually took and consumed so you can see the nutrition of that meal. For those with special dietary needs, you can also find information like carb counts, allergens and ingredients of each food item. Used as a teaching tool, the Health-e Meal Planner teaches students to manage their food intake and allows them to make better decisions toward a healthy lifestyle.
