NUTRITION NEWS YOU CAN USE
HEALTHY EATING TO AVOID THE FRESHMAN 15
Now that the initial rush of getting settled in at college is behind
us, take some time to establish regular eating habits and avoid
the infamous “freshman 15” weight gain. College students are
bombarded with an overwhelming array of food choices including
dining hall buffets, snack shops, vending machines, fast food
outlets, coffee houses, and casual and sit-down restaurants. With
food at every turn, it’s no surprise that some students end up
overeating and gaining unwanted pounds. Many freshmen have
trouble getting into a routine of healthy eating, perhaps due to a
hectic class schedule, social activities, work commitments, or other
obligations. Students are frequently in a rush and may not take
time to eat healthy meals. Even with a busy lifestyle, it’s important
for college students to get the nutrition you need to stay healthy and
to perform well in your classes.
Here are some tips that will help you get off to the right start with
healthy eating:
Eat breakfast. Breakfast helps you feel energized for the day and
keeps your mind sharp. If you don’t have time to sit down and eat,
grab a bagel with peanut butter, a piece of fruit, a carton of yogurt,
or a low-fat granola bar and eat it on the way to class.
Try to eat regular meals. Eat about every four to six hours
throughout the day; this will help you avoid constant snacking later
in the day.
Have a mixture of all the food groups at your meals. This
includes servings of fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products, and
meats and beans. By eating these nutritious foods, you’ll have
less room for high-calorie foods such as chips, French fries and
desserts.
At the dining hall choose poultry and lean meats. These
include turkey, chicken, fish, lean roast beef and pork, and ham.
Watch out for dishes with creamy sauces and gravies. Limit how
often you eat fried foods such as French fries and fried chicken.
For salads, load up on greens and vegetables and choose a low-fat
salad dressing. Choose fruit for dessert instead of higher calorie
cookies and bars most of the time.
Keep healthful snacks in your room. If hunger strikes during
a late night study session, grab one of these instead of making
a trip to the vending machine for candy or chips. Low-fat yogurt,
apples, bananas, grapes, pretzels, light microwave popcorn, string
cheese, baby carrots, V-8 or tomato juice, dry cereal, low fat granola
or breakfast bars, applesauce cups, peanut butter, almonds, and
whole grain crackers are all great choices.
Keep tabs on social eating. Social eating events are regular
occurrences with dorm get-togethers, club activities and sporting
events. You don’t have to eat something every time. Instead take
along or buy a non-caloric beverage to drink.
Set personal goals about your eating habits. Decide how often
you want to eat fried foods and desserts and then stick with your
goals. You don’t need to deprive yourself, but you don’t need to eat
them every day either.
If you go out for fast foods, choose wisely. Get a small piece
- Turkey Reuben
- Lentil & Veggie Stew over Biscuit
- Potato-Cheese Pierogies
- Southwestern Pollock
Drink six to eight glasses of water a day as your main
beverage. If you exercise strenuously, you may need more. Have
Every Tuesday at Commons and North Point Dining Hall we offer
samples of new recipes or products and ask for our customer’s
feedback. Take a minute each of these Tuesdays in October to try
the sample and tell us what you think.
of cheese pizza, a grilled chicken sandwich or a salad with low-fat
salad dressing. Limit the fried foods. Watch your portion sizes bring half of a burger home for later or share a meal with a friend.
skim or 1% milk or diet soda with your meals. Watch out for
fruit drinks and sweetened coffee drinks because they are often
loaded with calories. Instead, opt for diet soda or sugar-free iced
tea or lemonade. To save calories, add skim milk and sugar-free
sweeteners to your coffee drinks.
If you drink alcohol, limit how much you drink. It supplies
calories but has no nutritional value. For lower calorie contents
choose light beer and diet soda as mixers.

Along with healthy eating habits, lead an active lifestyle.
Don’t become a couch potato. Go to the gym and use exercise
equipment to stay fit. Try classes like aerobics, Zumba, spinning,
yoga, or Pilates. Or join an intramural or club sport for fun and
activity. Rather than driving to classes, walk or bike around
campus.
COMPOSTING UPDATE – UNIVERSITY DINING SERVICE
University Dining Service has been composting kitchen and post
consumer waste returned to the dishrooms 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 to May 24 34.25 tons (Student Center
Closed during this time)
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. Sustainability is
everybody’s responsibility please do your part and take only what
you now you can eat, remember you can go back for seconds on all
sides and salad bar items.

WELCOME BACK EVENT
GREAT AMERICAN COOKOUT
A SUCCESS!
On Tuesday, September 11th University Dining Service held the
28th Annual “Great American Cookout”. Students enjoyed a
great meal and got to know their neighbor. This event is offered
to enhance “community” on the campus and introduce students
to campus leaders. Students were served and got to visit with top
administrators such as the Chancellor, Provost, Vice Chancellor,
Deans, Directors and more. This year we had twenty-two
administrators participate. In addition dining provided several lawn
games to play and music to compliment the event and activities.
There were other participants in this event. University Recreation
was on hand to share all the club, fitness, intramural and Stout
Adventure opportunities with students. The weather was very warm
– sunny - perfect for this event and a total of 1272 customers were
served the meal.
The menu offered included grilled quarter pound burgers, chicken
breast fillets, bocca burgers, pasta salad, potato salad, veggies &
dip, mint brownies, chocolate chip cookies, and more. This year we
continued the offering of locally grown corn on the cob due to it’s
overwhelming popularity. Cost for students living in the residence
halls was normal price $2.50!!
