Mid Day Meal

Dietician’s Note

The one major meal of the day has been planned keeping the following factors in mind

Age:               4 – 18 yrs.
Sex:               Boys & girls (school goers)
Climate:        Winter, Summer & Rainy seasons

Multi cuisine menu for variety such as Indian, Chinese, South Indian and Continental

Each meal has variation in terms of

Palatability
Colour
Consistency
Texture
Quantity

Nutrients that should be present in the food

Liberal use of fresh seasonal vegetables
High protein foods like paneer (cottage cheese) and nutrela
Wheat flour incase of flour
Nuts in the form of coconut , fruit cake
Adding of milk powder to the wheat dough.

It is suggested that each meal should be such that children enjoy the meal as well as spend some time after the food for play. So a snacky nutritious food is suggested rather than an elaborate spread. Fewer items will also teach them to eat what they don’t like.
