What is MSmart?

The MSmart Healthy Dining Program designates menu items in the Residence Hall Dining Rooms that are healthy choices. Our recipes are analyzed for specific requirements such as fat, protein, calories, vitamins and minerals appropriate for traditional college-age students. Only recipes meeting specific criteria bear the MSmart insignia on our nutrition cards.

How to Read Dining Services Nutrition Cards
The card below shows nutrition information as it is presented in the dining halls.

Cards may also have a Vegan sticker when the item contains no animal products, or a sticker stating that the item contains peanuts and/or other nuts.

All of our items use high-quality ingredients and focus on flavor, appearance and overall appeal. If improving your health is one of your goals, pay special attention to the MSmart Logo in the corner of the label card. It shows you the most nutritious foods. Each MSmart recipe must meet specific requirements for fat, protein, vitamin, and mineral content appropriate to college-age students. So if you see the MSmart Logo, you've found a tasty and nutritious dish!

What is MFit?
MFit is the healthy choice designation developed by the Health Promotion Division of the University of Michigan Health System. The MFit criteria are designed for a general population and specifically target heart health. Many food items in the Residence Hall Dining Rooms would be both MSmart and MFit.
