Not sure I follow what your point is, but I know my kids (all healthy and active and reasonably sized) eat a lot more than 750-800 calories per family-packed lunch. Home made bread sandwich, alternating meat/cheese and PB&J.
Pretzels or pita chips or something salty/carby
Cookies -preferably home-made but also (yuck) oreos - single serving
Fruit - apple, grapes, strawberries, whatever I figure they're closer to 1k very high quality calories. Absorption levels for the food my kids eat is probably 1.5X the krep they serve on a tray. I totally get that institutional food leaves you a LOT hungrier in the afternoon than real food. -XC
