Abstract: A daily meal planning system may include plates, cups, bowls, measuring scoops, lunch boxes, trays, mats, and other eating utensils that are sized in proportion to the nutritional needs of a user, based upon a user's age, height, and/or weight. Additionally the daily meal planning system may include a plurality of food wells or segregated areas, each food well or segregated area may include an indicium that indicates a color of food to be placed in the given food well or segregated area. By varying the colors of food within a food group throughout the day, the daily meal planning system ensures that a user receives at least a recommended amount of nutrition for the user's age, height, and/or weight.
