Nutrition through the Lifecycle

Please enter your menu for the selected scenario in the following tables following the example provided below. Be sure to indicate specific food items (eg, bread) and the amount (2 slices). Then, indicate the number of exchanges in each of the food groups for the food item (eg, 2 grains).

You may choose not to use all snacks, and do not have to use all of the food groups at each meal or snack, unless you so choose.
