MEAL PATTERNS FOR CHILDREN
IN CHILD CARE PROGRAMS
The Child Care Food Program gives Federal aid to child care centers and family and group day care homes.
The goal of the program is to improve the diets of children by providing them with nutritious, well-balanced
meals. This publication is intended to assist large centers with the purchase and preparation of the correct
quantities of food. It contains meal patterns, food components, can and jar sizes, and food yields. The following
meal patterns contain the minimum food components which must be served in order to be reimbursed by
USDA.

DESCRIPTION OF FOOD COMPONENTS
BREADS AND CEREALS
All breads, including cornbread, biscuits, rolls and muffins, must be enriched or made of
whole-grain or enriched flour or meal to meet the bread requirement of the Child Care Food
Program. Bread must be served at lunch and supper, and may be served at breakfast and for
mid-morning and mid-afternoon supplements (snacks).
The size and shape of loaves and the thickness and number of slices per loaf vary among
bakers and localities. Breads, such as French and Vienna, differ in length and width; therefore,
the number of slices per loaf could not be determined. A serving of such breads
should be comparable in amount to regular sliced bread.
Enriched or whole-grain cereal may be served at breakfast alone or in combination with
bread to meet the cereal/bread requirement. Cereal may also be served as a mid-morning
or mid-afternoon supplement (snack), but it cannot be used in place of bread at lunch or
supper.
Cookies made of enriched or whole-grain meal or flour may be served for mid-morning or
mid-afternoon supplements (snacks) but may not be served in place of bread at breakfast,
lunch, or supper. It is recommended that cookies be served as a snack no more than twice a
week. Choose a type of cookie which may be served in reasonable numbers to meet the
minimum requirements of 18 grams for children under 6 years and 35 grams for children
over 6 years. Whole grain or enriched meal or flour should be the predominant ingredient
as specified on the label or according to the recipe.
Acceptable "formulated grain-fruit products" meeting FNS alternate food regulations may
be used at breakfast or for a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack. These products are
intended for use where kitchen facilities are not available for preparing and serving the
regular breakfast or snack menus. They must meet USDA-specifications.
Enriched pasta products, enriched or whole-grain rice, corn grits, or bulgur may also be
counted towards meeting the bread/cereal requirement. One-fourth cup of these products
meets the bread/bread alternate requirement for children under 6 years .

MEAT AND MEAT ALTERNATES
One or more of the following foods must be served as the main dish at lunch or supper:
cooked meat, poultry, fish; cheese; egg; cooked dry beans or peas; and peanut butter.
When cooked dry beans, lentils, or peas are counted as part of the meat alternate requirement,
they cannot be counted toward meeting the vegetable/fruit requirement as well.
A serving of cooked meat is defined as lean meat without bone. A serving of cooked
chicken or turkey includes meat and skin as normally served unless otherwise indicated.
The amounts to buy of commercially prepared combination chicken, meat, or turkey food
products are based on the minimum meat and poultry requirements for food products that are
packed for interstate shipment under Federal meat and poultry inspection. A serving of these
products, as shown in column 2 of this guide, will provide at least an ounce of cooked meat or
poultry.
One ounce (dry weight) of enriched macaroni products with fortified protein may be
counted as meeting 50 percent of the meat/meat alternate requirement only when served
with cheese, meat, poultry, or seafood. These products may meet either the meat/meat
alternate or bread/bread alternate requirement but not both in the same meal. Textured
vegetable protein products may be counted towards meeting part (30 percent) of the
meat/meat alternate requirement when combined with 1% parts of water and served in
combination with meat, poultry, or seafood. Cheese alternate products may be used in
combination with at least an equal amount of natural or processed cheese in a heated or
cooked menu item. Enriched macaroni products with fortified protein, textured vegetable
protein products, and cheese alternate products must meet USDA specifications. For
detailed information and assistance on the proper use of these three products, contact your
Food and Nutrition Service Regional Office or State agency.
MILK
Specified amounts of milk must be served as a beverage at lunch or supper and as a beverage
or with cereal at breakfast to meet the milk requirement. Milk may also be served
at the mid-morning or mid-afternoon supplement (snack). Milk means fluid types of whole,
lowfat, skim or cultured buttermilk, flavored or unflavored, which meet State and local .
standards. Fluid, evaporated, or dry milk used in preparation of soups, puddings, baked
products, and other foods may not be counted as meeting the milk requirement. Such
foods do add to the total milk intake of children, however, and are encouraged.
VEGETABLES AND FRUITS
A serving of cooked vegetable is drained vegetable as usually served. A serving of cooked
fruit consists of fruit and juice; when sugar is added, it is indicated in the description of
serving of cooked fruit. A serving of thawed frozen fruit is fruit and the juice that accumulated
during thawing. A serving (1/4 cup or more) of single strength vegetable or fruit
juice may be counted towards meeting no more than 1/4 cup of the vegetable or fruit
requirement.
All vegetables and fruits in the guide contribute to the vegetable/fruit requirement with
the exception of the following: catsup, chili sauce, jams, jellies, preserves, prepared mustard,
pickle relish, and potato chips and sticks.

HOW TO USE THE BU:YING GUIDE TO ESTIMATE .
AMOUNTS OF FOOD NEEDED
The buying guide (pages 10 to 43) shows the number of purchase units needed for 25 or
50 servings (column 4 or 5). Use one of the methods on this page to find the number
of purchase units needed for other numbers of servings.
METHOD 1
In the table below, find the number of servings needed. If the exact number is not shown,
use the next higher number in the table. The number in the next column is the amountto-
buy factor. Multiply the amount-to-buy factor by the number of purchase units for 50
servings (column 5 in the buying guide). This is the number of purchase units needed.
Number of servings Amount-to-buy Number of servings Amount-to-buy
factor factor
5 0.1 55 1.1
10 .2 60 1.2'
15 .3 65 1.3
20 .4 70 1.4
25 .5 75 1.5
30 .6 80 1.6
35 .7 85 1.7
40 .8 90 1.8
45 .9 95 1.9
50 1.0 100* 2.0
*To find tbe amount-to-buy factor for more than 100 servings, add the necessary factors.
For example, the factor for 135 servings is 2. 7 .or 2.0 plus 0. 7 •
Example: For 35 servings, the amount-to-buy factor is 0.7. The number of purchase units
for 50 servings (14 cup each) of applesauce (page 10) is 3.9 cans (29 oz each). Therefore,
0.7 times 3.9 equals 2.73 or about 2% cans are needed for 35 servings.
METHOD 2
Multiply the number of servings by the number of purchase units for 50 servings (column
5). Then divide the answer by 50 to get the number of purchase units needed.
Example: For 35 servings of applesauce (14 cup each), 35 times 3.9 cans equals 136.5.
Then divide 136.5 by 50 to get 2.73. Therefore, about 2% cans (29 oz each) of applesauce
are needed for 35 servings.

HOW TO ESTIMATE
NUMBER OF CANS TO BUY
FROM POUND DATA
IN BUYING . GUIDE
Use number of pounds of canned food (pages
10 to 43) and number of No. 303 cans
interchangeably. Use the above table to estimate
the number of other size cans to buy.
NOTE: The number of cans estimated by
this method may not always be the same as
the information in the buying guide because
the data in both tables have been rounded.
Example: For 50 servings of canned apples
(page 10), 6.0 pounds (or 6 No. 303 cans)
are needed, or 0.96 No. 10 cans (6.0 pounds
times 0.16 equals 0.96 cans), or 3.6 No.
2Yz cans (6 pounds times 0.6 equals 3.6).

EXPLANATION OF TABLES
This Food Buying Guide provides information for determining the amounts of food to buy to
meet the meal patterns of pre-school children in child care centers under the Child Care Food
Program.
Amounts to buy of individual foods are averages. Variations in the yields of meat and
poultry may be due to type, age, fatness, and weight of animal; and method, time, and
temperature of cooking. Variety, season, size, and ripeness as well as preparation and
cooking time influence yields of vegetableS and fruits.
Column 1-Food as purchased
Foods are listed alphabetically according to the form in which they are obtained on the
market-canned, dried (dehydrated), fresh, or frozen. Preparation of food by the processor
is also given, such as sliced, boned, or shelled.
Items defined as special purchase are USDA-donated foods that are not normally available
on the market.
Column 2-Size and description of serving
Size of serving is given as a weight, measure, or number of pieces or slices. The approximate
yield in measure or weight given in parentheses also indicates the crediting toward
the meal for foods such as raw apple, half-strength juice, and cooked chicken. Descriptions
include preparation procedures used in child care center kitchens, such as diced,
shredded, or cooked.
Column 3_:_Purchase unit
The purchase unit is a pound for most foods. A common can or package size is also
given for many processed foods. Data on the one-pound unit can be used to es~imate
amounts of other purchase units.
Columns 4 and 5-Purchase units of food to buy for 25 or 50 servings
The number of pounds, cans, packages, or other units to buy for preparing 25 or 50
servings of the size described in column 2 is shown. The figures in column 5 are not
always double those in column 4 because the data in the two columns were determined
separately and then rounded to one decimal. To determine amounts to buy for other numbers
of servings, see page 8.
"Food Buying Guide for Type A School Lunches" PA-270, might be more helpful in
determining amounts to serve 100 or more children.
