As you pack up your child’s lunch, take the opportunity to pack in nutrients as well. Two important goals for ensuring your child eats a healthful lunch:
*Include as many food groups as you can as whole, unprocessed foods.
*Make it as appealing as possible, both visually and tastefully (an uneaten lunch isn’t doing anyone any good).
Children who eat processed foods and sugars for lunch may:
*have a harder time maintaining the rigors of the school day
*lose concentration
*feel sluggish during the afternoon
A proper child's lunch should ideally include:
*one portion of carbohydrate
*one portion of protein
*a calcium-rich food
*fresh fruits and vegetables
