Charlie shares tried-and-true strategies for managing school lunches and keeping students well-fed during busy school days. This episode wraps up the back-to-school series with practical advice for parents navigating the daily challenge of packing nutritious meals kids will actually eat.

• Create a lunch strategy before school starts - decide if your child will have school lunch, home lunch, or a hybrid approach
• Use insulated lunch bags with water bottle compartments and containers with locking mechanisms to prevent spills
• Verify your child's lunch time to determine whether to pack hot or cold meals
• Meal prep twice weekly (Sundays and Wednesdays) to ensure variety and freshness
• Avoid heavy meals, stomach-irritating foods, and excessive sugar that can cause energy crashes
• Balance nutrition with proteins, vegetables and moderate carbs for sustained energy
• Consider simple options like chicken wraps, protein-rich hot meals, and healthy snacks for athletes
