NUTRITION NEWS YOU CAN USE
Eat Well Through Finals so you can Enjoy the Holiday Break
This time of year is stressful for everyone with the anticipation of
holiday celebrations and preparation for those, but on top of that
having final papers to write, exams to take and presentations to
give make it overwhelming at times. Keeping your eating on track
can help you feel energized during the final weeks of the semester.
Here are some tips on how to do that.
Keep your meals regular. Take time to sit down and eat. Your body
will appreciate the break and your mind will feel refreshed and
ready to concentrate again. When you eat, have a balanced meal
with whole grains, fruits and vegetables, moderate amounts of lean
protein and low fat dairy foods. Grabbing something quick from a
vending machine won’t give you the nutrients that you’ll get from
the balanced meal, and it will probably be a high calorie choice.
Eat breakfast every day. Breakfast helps you “break the fast” and
gives you the energy you need to get your day started. Numerous
studies have shown that students are more alert and perform
better on tests when they have eaten breakfast. Healthy and
quick breakfast ideas include toast with peanut butter, whole grain
cereal with milk and fruit, granola topped with yogurt and fruit, or a
hardboiled egg with toast.
Go easy on caffeine. Coffee does give you a boost, but if you’re
drinking coffee drinks like mochas and smoothies you can be
getting a lot of extra calories from the fat and sugar in the added
cream, whole milk and sugar. Try black coffee or coffee with skim
or low fat milk added and keep it to 3-4 cups per day. An alternative
to coffee is green tea, which is also a source of healthy antioxidants.
Green tea contains lesser concentrations of caffeine than coffee,
but still gives you an energy boost.
Eat every three to four hours by including some healthy snacks in
between your meals. Eating frequently helps keep your energy level
steady and your brain fueled for late night studying. So plan ahead
and have some healthy snack choices on hand for between meals
and late nights. Fruit is great – apples, pears, oranges, bananas,
canned peaches, pears or applesauce, dried fruit like apricots or
raisins. Vegetables like baby carrots, green peppers strips, or a
cut up veggie tray with low fat dip. Protein foods like string cheese,
peanut butter on crackers, yogurt, nuts like peanuts or almonds
(in small amounts). Snack foods like low fat microwave popcorn,
pretzels, baked tortilla chips with salsa, whole grain granola bars
and rice cakes or soy crisps. Dessert items like frozen fruit bars,
low fat pudding, ginger snaps or animal crackers. When you snack,
check the Nutrition Facts for the serving size, take that amount out
of the package or bag and put it in a dish. This will help you control
how much you eat instead of going back to the bag several times for
more.
Work in some physical activity. Take a study break and hit the gym
or go for a walk. Your body will feel better and so will your mind,
you’ll get an energy boost and be ready to hit the books again.
How can I enjoy the holiday break without feeling like I’m out
of control with eating?
The holidays are great occasions to spend time with family and
friends, but they usually involve a lot of social activities like holiday
dinners and parties where food and eating are highlights of the
get together. If you feel out of control and end up overeating,
you won’t enjoy the party because you will be thinking about how
uncomfortable you feel. Here are some strategies to help you feel
more in control and avoid overeating.
Have a snack before the meal or before going to the party. A
piece of fruit or a serving of yogurt is a healthy snack choice.
When you get to the dinner or party, look at all the foods and
choose those you really enjoy eating. Take small servings of
those foods and don’t feel that you have to try everything. Eat
your food slowly and pay attention to how you are feeling as
you’re eating. Listen to your body – stop eating when you’re
comfortably full, rather than stuffed. Instead of eating too
much, take time to enjoy socializing with family and friends!
HOLIDAY COMMUNITY BUFFET
On Tuesday, December 11th the Memorial Student Center (MSC)
dining team will offer a buffet to bring the campus and community
together over the noon hour. Student, faculty, staff, and the local
Menomonie community are invited. It is a great social opportunity
for those campus department, student organizations or groups not
able to plan another time to celebrate the season together. Tables
may be reserved for groups and tickets are available at http://www.
uwstout.edu/shoppesatstout.cfm or at Room 224, MSC in advance.

COMPOSTING UPDATE – UNIVERSITY DINING SERVICE
University Dining Service has been composting kitchen and post
consumer waste returned to the dishroom in each facility since
January 2010. The tonnage of compostable materials diverted
from the landfill by University Dining and sent to commercial
compost site:
- Calendar Year 2010 – 90.7 tons
- Calendar Year 2011 - 67.7 tons (MSC Closed during this time)
- Calendar Year 2012 (thru October) - 56.3 tons
University Dining hopes that this year we will see successful
practices implemented to get more post-consumer food waste into
the compost stream and out of the landfill. The campus is adding
compost containers to the academic buildings and increasing
the number for the public in MSC and Commons. The removal
of containers in meeting and classrooms will help to encourage
everyone to properly sort and dispose of all trash. Residence
halls already have compost collection underway. Sustainability
is everybody’s responsibility please do your part, and encourage
your fellow campus community members to do the same. In the
cafeterias take only what you now you can eat, remember you can
go back for seconds on all sides and salad bar items. Consumer
food waste does contribute to the costs for meals in the cafeterias.
