Menu Planning For Good Nutrition.

Knowledge of the facts for good nutrition without the application will reap no reward. To produce and maintain good health, daily menus should include:

EGGS

One each day per person—or at least 3 to 4 a week.

Eggs may be served plain as poached, scrambled, hard-cooked, or in an omelet; in cooking as soufflés, custards, sauces, breads or cakes and salads.

LEAN MEAT, POULTRY OR FISH

One or more servings daily. (Fresh, Canned or Frozen)

Different kinds of meat, poultry and fish are necessary for variety of food value and flavor. The many canned meats, poultry and fish available make nutritious meals quick and easy to prepare. Include occasionally on your menus, liver, kidney, salmon, sardines, tuna, herring or mackerel.
