Nutrition
Dining Centers provide students with choices, from plated meals to customizable options, where healthful choices and delicious meals are one in the same.
Fresh and flavorful selections at the micro-restaurants in Dining Centers include halal, vegan and allergen-friendly choices, as well as healthful choices for everyone, just the way you like it. Nutritional guidance from the Nutrition Specialist and social opportunities make eating food on campus worry-free, so students can effectively use their time to study, work, rest and play while in pursuit of their academic goals.
Tips for Healthy Eating
- Check the for nutritional information by clicking on each item
- Plan meal selections in advance
- Fill one plate first, then go back for seconds if still hungry
- Use condiments sparingly - a little goes a long way
- Follow @wmudining on Instagram for healthful suggestions
It's unrealistic to expect that every choice you make will be healthy. Focus on developing habits of choosing healthful choices, most of the time!
