Work out school lunch nutrition instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
The meal is compared with the published school food energy and protein minimums for the age group, reporting each as a percentage of target. School meal standards set an energy band rather than a ceiling, so a meal well over target is as much a flag as one under it.
Against target
percentage = nutrient in the meal / age group target x 100
percentage = nutrient in the meal / age group target x 100. The meal is compared with the published school food energy and protein minimums for the age group, reporting each as a percentage of target.
