Help Yourself to Healthy

To help you make healthy food choices at Michigan, a customized nutrition card accompanies every dish served in our residential dining halls. The card provides the serving size; information on calories, fat, carbs, protein and sugar; and any common allergens (eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, seeds, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, wheat, barley, rye and oats). Use the colorful icons to quickly identify vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, halal or MHealthy dishes. 

Recommended Resources

In addition to the many U-M and Housing services listed above, there are a variety of resources on the Internet you may find helpful. We suggest that you review these recommended sites as part of your planning for a healthy life style:

• A free diet journal at fitday.com allows you to track your food intake, exercise, goals and weight loss.
• Choosemyplate.gov is a website that offers many tools such as, healthy eating tips, personalized meal plans and diet analysis.
