[quote=Anonymous]OP, what I see here is lots of sugar in a variety of forms.  Cereal, breaded nuggets or bread with chocolate, packaged bar, chips, fruit, rice/noodles, more fruit.  And if his extended day snacks are anything like those at my DD's school, then they are mostly empty carbs.

DD's daily diet:
Breakfast: Usually either cereal with skim milk, or toast with peanut butter.  Water

Lunch: Sometimes leftover soup in a thermos, or leftover taco fixings turned into a salad. The fall-back lunch is two slices of turkey in roll-up form since she doesn't like turkey sandwiches, carrots, low fat yogurt or string cheese, fruit of some kind, and often a little treat like a Hershey's kiss.  Water.  She also buys lunch about 1 day per week.

Dinner: Totally varies.  Weekends are usually some sort of grilled meat, side salad, and a second veg. Sometimes with French fries.  Weeknights are all over the map.  Soups are big in our house, as are taco salads.  About once a week based on schedules she ends up with a pb&j on multigrain bread plus veg and cheese.  Water.

Snack: For school, it's almost always a pre-packaged goldfish or pirate's booty since it has to be non-messy, not need a spoon, etc per classroom rules.  At home a snack needs to have a second healthy component if she wants goldfish, like a handful of carrots or grapes.  Water.
