Healthy Lunchbox

Welcome to FDF's guide to creating a healthy lunch box.

Balanced, healthy eating is a critical part of a healthy lifestyle. We need to encourage our kids to take up eating a healthy diet from day one, but as parents you know this isn't always easy.

Our top ten healthy lunch box tips; lunch box suggestions; and useful weblinks all work towards helping you creating great, tasty, healthy lunch boxes for your children.

Also see what other parents have to say about the issue of lunch boxes.

We surveyed 1,300 parents to help us understand the pressures they were under when making their children’s lunch boxes.

Almost all of those asked (97%) said that it should be their responsibility to decide what goes into their child’s lunch box.

Our handy planner uses Guideline Daily Amounts to help you pull together a number of healthy and tasty items for your children's lunch boxes. You can print off the planner to have it to hand whenever you are deciding what to make for their lunch boxes.
