College Meal Plans - When does it make sense to buy the "Maximum" plan?

We did unlimited swipes because our child doesn’t eat enough and we didn’t want to make it any harder than it needed to be to get a meal. He ended up eating breakfast twice (once before his 8:00 class - a quick bowl of cereal) and once after with friends (something more substantial). I think in our case it was worth it, but for a more ordinary kid, especially a girl who needs relatively few calories) it is probably overkill.
