Part of the value of being a part of a larger online community is browsing the variety of lunch foods that everyone offers. Members can share lunch foods with the larger Lunchtaker commmunity.
How do I share an item?
At the top of any page, click “Add Your Own Item”. You may use either submission process: simple (where we’ll calculate the nutrition for you) or advanced (where you can calculate nutrition on your own). Once you’re done, we will take a look: if it meets the criteria below and is accepted, it will be added to the library of Lunchtaker foods.
Why do items have to be approved before they’re shared?
We want to preserve the integrity of the information on this site, which we do by ensuring that items contain accurate nutrition information, quality photographs and well-written descriptions. If you need to change an item you’ve already submitted, no problem: just contact us and we can help make an update for you.
What are the criteria for sharing?
Items that can be shared must:
- have a quality photograph
- have complete information: serving size, description, and nutrition information
- be nutritious. As nutrition can be a bit subjective based on what’s important to you, we do not have strict qualifications for “what’s nutritious and what’s not”. Therefore, we will use discretion before allowing items that may be “borderline” in the nutrition department.
