* In the same meal service, dried beans or dried peas
							 may be used as a meat alternate or as a vegetable; however, such use does not
							 satisfy the requirement for both components.
** At lunch and supper, no more than 50% of the
							 requirement shall be met with nuts, seeds, or nut butters. Nuts, seeds, or nut
							 butters shall be combined with another meat or meat alternative to fulfill the
							 requirement. Two tablespoons of nut butter or one ounce of nuts or seeds equals
							 one ounce of meat.
*** Juice may not be served when milk is served as
							 the only other component.
