Introduction
Student Health and well-being depend on a healthy diet. A well-balanced diet enables them to grow, develop, be protected from sickness, and have the energy to study, learn, and engage in physical activity. Education, health, and food security depend on well-thought-out school meal plans and regulations. Healthy school lunches and nutrition education are only two ways students' diets may be improved. Depending on the context of one’s locality, the meals available can vary. Notably, various countries have their specific meal plans recommended for children, which in most cases favor the students' learning process and improve their health. Canada is known as one of wealthiest nations in the world, and there are many health risks experienced by students because of the food they consume.

For lunch, Sandwiches, soups, and salads are some of the most common options in Canada since they are convenient and easy to prepare (Swetaa et al., 2018). When it comes to Canadian student dinner, it is normal to have a substantial meat entrée (such as a chicken breast or steak), a vegetable side dish and a grain or starch dish on the table (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2021).
