Allergy Menus

The one day Sample Menus provided here are to help guide you in healthy menu planning within the restriction of an allergy. All menus follow guidelines suggested for good health and to meet nutritional needs. We suggest that 3 meals per day be taken. Snacks are included in the higher calorie meal plans. Sample Menus are given for two calorie levels, 1400 for children and 2000 for adults. If more calories are needed for weight maintenance or weight gain, additional snacks or larger portions can be taken. For lower calories, simply reduce portion sizes.

The calorie distribution of these meal plans is approximately 30% fat, 20% protein, and 50% carbohydrate. Plant foods high in fiber as well as vitamins and minerals are used liberally for a balanced diet. As allergies can limit food selections, it is important to discuss the need for a vitamin and mineral supplement with your physician or dietitian.
