Nutrition News

It is a good time of the year to look at your eating habits. Many students know the importance of eating breakfast but they just do not have the time. A balanced breakfast would include a serving of grains, protein, and a fruit or vegetable. In the dining halls, it is easy to find some eggs, whole grain bread or toast and fresh fruits. You can also have cereal, fruit, yogurt, and toast with peanut butter. In your room keep some easy foods like cereal, milk, and fruit. A peanut butter sandwich and a piece of fruit. A granola bar and piece of cheese.
