This will give you an idea of the types and amounts of foods you should be eating.
- It's easy to forget about vitamins and calcium, but try to make a habit out of getting the recommended daily amounts. Make sure you're getting 1000 mg or 3 servings of calcium each day.
- Use "intuitive eating." Ask yourself if you're physical hungry and what type of food you're in the mood for. Try to be aware of when you eat without feeling hungry, what you eat, and the possible reasons.
- You can eat a healthy diet with Aramark food!

- Many of the food stations give huge portions. Keep in mind that you don't have to finish the meal, and you can take the leftovers to your room to eat later.
- Try to eat meals during regular dining hall hours. You're less likely to get something healthy from the Boulevard or the C-store.
