MHealthy Dining Guidelines
Beginning in the fall of 2011, new MHealthy guidelines will be implemented to assist the University’s dining community in identifying healthier food choices at eateries across campus.
The MHealthy guidelines were developed by registered dietitians at the University of Michigan and reflect these key recommendations:
- Avoid “empty calories” and oversized portions;
- Eat more fruits and vegetables;
- Watch out for foods that are high in sodium or added sugar;
- Choose low-fat or fat-free dairy options.
To identify MHealthy options in the residential dining halls, look for the MHealthy logo on the nutrition cards placed near each serving area. MHealthy options are also listed on our University Housing online menus and in MyNutrition.
More information on the NEW MHealthy Guidelines will be coming soon. Learn more!

Nutrition Tips
Mix it Up!
Foods high in antioxidants are black beans, blueberries and pinto beans. Add these to your next salad for a healthy change of pace.
Spring is here!
March is the first month of spring and that means produce like mixed greens will be sprouting up in our local farm hoop houses and hopefully coming to your dining halls soon.
