What this tool does
This planner builds balanced, child-friendly lunchbox ideas in seconds, matched to your child's age and tastes, with easy swaps to make them a little healthier.
It offers general ideas to inspire you, not a prescribed diet.
When to use it
Use it when you are stuck for lunchbox ideas, when you want to make packed lunches a bit healthier without a battle, or when you are catering for a fussy eater and need options they will actually eat.
How it works
You tell it your child's age, the foods they like, anything to avoid and the kind of ideas you want. It then suggests a few balanced lunchboxes with a main, fruit or veg, a snack and a drink, plus simple swaps. Nothing you enter is saved, and you do not need to give your name or email to use it. For food allergies or any medical dietary need, always follow advice from your GP, health visitor or a dietitian, and treat the avoid list as a firm rule.
