About My School RD
We believe every school should have access
to the knowledge and expertise
of a Registered Dietitian.
My School RD supports school nutrition programs with nutrient analysis, meal pattern compliance, and special diet services. All we need are your menus, existing recipes, and ordering guides to create a full nutrient analysis, beautifully displayed on your website, phone app, and digital boards. In as little as two weeks, your students and school nurses will have accurate carbohydrate counts. Your managers and auditors can have a neatly organized e-folder of compliant, standardized recipes and signed Product Formulation Statements for every processed product that you use. You will have the satisfaction of knowing that your menus follow the guidelines for calories, saturated fat, sugar, and sodium.
Meal pattern violations are consistently listed as top Administrative Review findings.
With My School RD, be confident that your menus meet the requirements
and that your menus are Dietitian-approved.
