Tips for Eating in Dining Halls: Choose which foods to put on your tray

Many students exercise daily, but many have trouble seeing the results they want. Diet is often overlooked in exercise, but a proper diet is crucial to see the results you want from exercise, whether your goal is to burn fat or build muscle.

A campus dining hall can supply all your dietary needs, but you will need to adjust your diet to see the results of your hard work.

 

 

 

  • Look at nutrition information on menus in dining halls. Be ready to create healthy, balanced meals
  • Make half your plate fruits and vegetables
  • Take smaller portions and use a smaller plate
  • Rethink your drink: Drink water instead of sugary beverages
  • Cut down on sauces, gravies, and dressings that are high in fat and sodium
  • Choose a healthy dessert like a fruit or fat free yogurt
