CALIFORNIA RDs - Title 22 m3nu regs

[Guest guest]

Greetings:

This question pertains to a Title 22 interpretive guideline for the ounces

of protein required per day on the menus.

I have always written the menus to provide 6 oz of protein per day, usually

1, 3, 2 or in whatever combo needed to provide enough viable protein source.

I have never included milk or any other dairy product included to provide

another major nutrient. I have also never included ingredients, that is,

egg, skim milk powder used as a coating or ingredient in a recipe. And I

have never included the proteins in grains or vegetables since they do not

provide all the indispensable AA. I do include legumes and non-animal

sources of protein as long as there is a complementary food that will

complete the protein profile. It's basic nutrition 101 as we all know.

Right now I cannot find the source for the California Title 22 requirement,

as my very old Title 22 that includes the interpretive guidelines is

somewhere in my garage and I wasn't smart enough to label the boxes or keep

a detailed inventory. Needless to say I'm pressed for time, or I wouldn't

still be up looking for the information.

If any California RD has this reference in any form, I'll appreciate the

information.

TIA!!
