BATON ROUGE, La. – A take-along lunch can be a healthful, economical choice for students and teachers, according to LSU AgCenter nutritionist Beth Reames.
A nutritious, satisfying lunch should contain several items, including protein-containing food; bread, cereal, rice or pasta; fruits; vegetables and a beverage, preferably milk for children, Reames says.
“Protein comes in many forms including milk and milk products, meat, fish, cheese, eggs, nuts, beans and peanut butter," she says. “Using leftovers to provide protein may require less preparation than a sandwich. And when milk is not the beverage, cheese or yogurt may provide calcium as well as protein.”
