- Using table 3.3 page 113 (3rd ed. textbook); pages 95 – 96 (4th ed) to develop a one-day nutritionally balanced menu for a school age child, using low glycemic index foods, with foods from all food groups included.
- Include the glycemic index score for each food. Since this menu should have low glycemic index foods, only include foods with a glycemic index score of 50 or below. Include the glycemic score for each food.
