Good 4U entrees are now available in GCISD school cafeterias twice a week, providing students with another healthy alternative for lunch. With the recent news reports indicating an increase in childhood obesity, the staff of Child Nutrition Services at GCISD developed lower-fat recipes to ensure that 30 percent or less of the calories come from fat, as recommended in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

These Good 4U entrees will be marked with a special card on the serving lines and noted on the printed menus by a heart symbol. Entrees will be available twice a week and more often as recipes are developed. In addition to the "Good 4U" choices, students may select baked potato and chef salad choices, which also have been reformulated to fit the lower-fat guidelines, and those are available daily.
