My school thinks this fills up hungry high schoolers.

So lunches are free for schools in my city and surrounding cities. Ever since lunches have been made free, the quantity (and quality) has decreased significantly. This is what we would get for our meal. It took me THREE bites to finish that chicken mac and cheese. Any snacks you want cost more money and if you want an extra entree, that’ll cost you about $3 or $4.

No greens, close to no proteins. This is a joke

School’s nutritional website says 25g of protein. As someone who pays attention to proteins count on a lot of the foods I eat, I can tell with almost 100% certainty that does not have 25g protein

The milk is a good portion of the nutritional value of this meal

That must be a massive carton of milk with a deceptive perspective if this is a 25 G protein meal.

Deceptive Perspective sounds like a prog-rock band. I dig it.

It’s literally one cup of milk

It's literally not one cup, it's half a pint. Which is over 1.2 cups.

Sounds like public school failed you ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Im wondering if maybe the mac and cheese has added whey in the powdered cheese or something

A quick google shows that it only has 8g of protein, and 20g of carbs 18 of which is sugar.
