NOTE ON PORTION SIZES and NUTRITIONAL CONTENT OF MEALS
The nutritional information given after each menu is approximate and is based on one serving of each of the menu items listed (excluding any suggested wine). Our goal is to develop menus and recipes that meet the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III and American Heart Association guidelines. Also our menus provide servings from all of the My Pyramid (www.mypyramid.gov) food groups to assist in providing balanced meals. Each recipe will indicate the number of servings it provides. Other menu items are based on normal portion sizes (i.e.: 1/2 c. vegetable or fruit; 1 piece of fresh fruit; 1 c. salad; 2 T. salad dressing; 1 roll or slice of bread; 1/2 c. rice or potatoes; 1 c. milk or soup; 3-4 oz. meat). You can also refer to the nutritional facts panel on packaged foods which provide the portion size and number of servings per package. Please visit www.mypyramid.gov to select an individualized meal plan that meets your daily needs.

Meijer is now using NuVal! The NuVal system is an easy-to-use, science based food nutrition scoring system that helps you to quickly see the nutritional value of foods you're buying. It provides one simple score, from 1 to 100. The higher nutritional value, the higher the NuVal score. For more information go to www.nuval.com for more scores and category ranges.
