The lists of foods and serving sizes are those of the archived Menu Planner. The archived page did not include calorie, fat or carbohydrate values for the foods, so each item here is matched to a food in the USDA FoodData Central "SR Legacy" database (public domain, April 2018), scaled to the serving shown. The values are USDA nutrient values for the matched food, not the values the original tool used, and are approximate. The match and gram weight for every item are recorded in the site's data file.

Guidance for a healthy diet changes over time; this planner is an archived reference tool, not dietary or medical advice.
