The web portal include contents on healthy diet of children and adolescents and a modern e-tool that allows meals planning in EI. The project co-founded through contribution of the Ministry of Health. Introduction: Within the framework of the Slovenian Food and Nutrition Action Plan experts were carried out revision of the NNG. The aim of the present paper is to present an e-tool intended to experts responsible for meal planning and preparing in EI. The e-tool will enable management of the school meals programme from the foods purchase to the meals serving. The e-tool will also allow monitoring of children daily presence in school according to the current school calendar as well as children and adolescents physiological needs, foods, recipes, school menus databases in relation to the NNG. An e-tool will include portion size recommendations for several aged groups of children from 1 to 18 years.
