## Prompt

```text
Help me plan healthy school lunches my kids will actually eat.

**Kids' ages:** [AGES]
**Foods they like:** [LIST]
**Foods they refuse:** [LIST]
**School rules:** [e.g. "nut-free school", "no microwave access", "no glass"]
**Allergies or dietary needs:** [LIST or "none"]
**Lunch gear:** [e.g. "insulated box with ice pack", "thermos", "bento box"]
**Prep time I have:** [e.g. "15 minutes the night before", "1 hour on Sunday"]
**Budget:** [ROUGH WEEKLY AMOUNT]

Plan:
1. A simple lunch formula (e.g. protein + whole grain + fruit + vegetable + something fun) with options from their liked foods for each slot.
2. Two weeks of lunch combos in a table (day | main | sides | drink | prep note), with no combo repeated more than twice.
3. Food safety basics: what must stay cold, how long items keep, what to avoid packing without an ice pack.
4. Batch-prep shortcuts for my available prep time.
5. Ideas to involve the kids (choosing from a menu, packing their own) and to introduce one new food a week without pressure.
6. A shopping list for week one.

Respect school rules and allergies strictly. Keep portions age-appropriate and don't label foods as "bad."
