For a kid; that isn't a whole lot of calories. Unless your friend is small and has a low metabolism or doesn’t do a whole lot.

Looks like a good amount of calories to me, the two fruitdrinks alone would make up for most of it. The problem is that most of it comes in the form of sugar and carbohydrates. And there is a worryingly lack of fibre, which means that whoever eats that will likely get hungry again in a short while and crave "snacks" and other unnecessary calories.
After a quick and dirty look at nutrional fact lables: That's almost half the daily recommended sodium, over a third the fat, and three tablespoons of sugar. Depending on the PB and J brands and types, it could be more fat, sodium and sugar.
Tell your friend to mind their own business if they don’t have to eat it
No. This is a large unhealthy snack.
No veg, little fiber, high in refined carbs. Kinda shit, imo. Goddamn, eat a piece of whole fruit instead of processed shit that’s basically just sugar.
No veg
I see a pickle
Pickle not a veg?
You’ve taken nearly all the nutritional value out of the cucumber. It’s basically just a bit of fiber now.
This is a pretty average lunch if ever I saw one.
Perfectly fine, it's food. Food is always an acceptable form of lunch.
That wouldn’t be acceptable if I got this served ar a bar, accompanying beers.
I guess, if you like it. Plastic wrapped cheese and plastic wrapped applesauce are a little crazy and it's got a lot of refined sugar. If I were "fixing" this,
Apple not applesauce
Cheese sandwich not shrink wrapped cheese. With some lettuce, tomato, onion. Vegetables. On the side of you don't like them in the sandwich.
Water not pear juice.
Those chips are (as my kids would say) fire. So good. I would not take them away even though they have not nutrition.
What I usually have for lunch is leftovers of whatever I made for supper the night before (if it's leftover-able)
Also, I'd say it depends on if this is all you eat. If it's an indulgent quick lunch in the context of an overall good diet, then heck yes, acceptable. If this is the healthiest meal of your day, then no.
Your friend probably has autism; the thing in common all of these have is they're singular textures:
E.g: Pear juice and apple sauce are mushy and fruity, the chips and pickle are crunchy, and the PB&J and stick are soft.
Don't bully people with autism, let them eat their chicken tendies (or a PB&J with pickle) for 349 straight days in a row in peace.
Nice observation!
And you helped me notice, the crunchy are salty snacks, so they might also e.g. eat the crunchy salty first and then the soft sweets, or eat a crunchy chip with the soft sandwich, etc!
My only suggestion to them is to bump up their protein intake and cut back a bit on the carbs. =D
Not carbs, but sugar
I mean we've got the sandwich, the juice and the apple sauce (and I don't actually want to know how much sugar was added to the chips and pickle).
There's like no fibre or complex carbohydrate in that meal whatsoever 🥲
Id recommend 0.666666667 PBJ
If you're a student and/or poor, yes. Otherwise, this is fine, but you can do better.
If you are poor, you should definitely not be buying individual servings of applesauce (or most things). Of course, this is also true if you are not poor.
Maybe it came from a food pantry or neighborhood box.
The stealth pickle and incognito string cheese help so much. Give them some acknowledgement.
I see nothing wrong with it
It's better than my lunch today
Seems fine aside from the applesauce packaging being unnecessarily wasteful.
I kinda do.
Cupboard clean out day?
This economical, practical, and flavorful. It’s healthy enough (assuming the other 2 meals pack in some of the missing stuff like whole fiber veggies). Good job!
