A monthly meal list is a planned menu program that determines which meals will be prepared on which day for a month in an institution, business, or home. It is generally used in places providing mass food services such as schools, nurseries, hospitals, dormitories, factories, and restaurants.
What is the Purpose of the Monthly Meal List?
The monthly meal list is prepared for purposes such as supporting regular and healthy nutrition, keeping costs under control, facilitating food procurement, ensuring variety and nutritional balance in meals, and preventing the repetition of the same dishes. In line with this purpose, the monthly meal list:
Supports Balanced and Regular Nutrition:
It ensures a nutritional order by planning daily and weekly meals.
Keeps Costs Under Control:
It reduces waste and facilitates budget management by planning ingredient and meal costs in advance.
Facilitates Food Procurement:
It enables timely and regular supply by ensuring that the needed ingredients are determined in advance.
Increases Variety and Nutritional Balance:
It strengthens nutritional diversity and nutritional values by including different food groups in meals.
Prevents Repetitive Menus:
It makes meals more attractive and interesting by preventing the frequent repetition of the same dishes.
What is Generally Included in the Monthly Meal List?
Generally, the monthly meal list includes daily soup, main course, side dish, salad, and dessert/fruit options. In some institutions, calorie or nutritional value information is also added. Additionally, weekly or monthly recurring themes (e.g., legume day, vegetable day) add variety and balance to the menu.
Snack and Beverage Options:
Especially in schools, nurseries, and some corporate services, breakfast, snacks, and beverages are also planned.
Seasonal and Fresh Products:
Seasonal vegetables, fruits, and other ingredients are prioritized for inclusion in the menu.
Options Specific to Nutritional Needs:
Alternatives for gluten-free, low-salt, vegan, or special nutritional requirements can be offered with dietitian approval.
Meal Portion Information:
In some institutions, portion sizes and grammages are specified.
Kitchen Application Notes:
Short notes can be added to facilitate the implementation for institution kitchens.
