Criteria for Evaluating Health Items

For a menu item to meet Fit to Eat guidelines, it must contain 30% or less of its total calories from fat.

Developing Healthy Menus:

To create healthier options your restaurant can do any of the following:

Use existing items on menu: Certain menu selections, such as fresh vegetable salads or grilled skinless chicken, may already meet the guidelines.

Modify existing items to make them more nutritious: Modification centers on ingredients, preparation, and cooking techniques. Modifying an existing item may simply mean to offer a half-portion size.

Create new selections: Our resgistered dietitians or trained staff can work with the cook or chef to create healthier selections.
