Student’s Guide to Nutrition

Posted by BestColleges.com on November 17, 2014

According to the CDC, “empty” calories account for up to 40% of a young person’s diet, which could lead to real health problems. Our guide goes beyond supplying students with cursory information about nutrition, and takes an in-depth look at why proper nutrition and a well-balanced diet are important to overall health. We do this by detailing:

  • The basic building blocks of nutrition
  • How unhealthy foods affect us
  • How to make better choices in a dining hall
  • Eating well on a budget
