Your Campus Guide to Nutrition

Busy schedules, late nights, and erratic sleeping patterns often lead to inconsistent eating habits in college. A diet of ramen, pizza, and endless supplies of coffee is the norm on many campuses. We know that taking care of your body is just as important as getting a 4.0 (and maybe the key to getting one), but college life often makes it difficult to avoid bad eating habits. As two former college students who may have not made the wisest dining choices, we knew we had to find an expert on nutrition for this episode.  This week we sat down with Rena Bruckman, MS, RD-N, a registered dietitian/nutritionist specializing in the treatment of weight and disordered eating.  Rena helps lay out a different approach to making more nourishing, intentional choices in the dining hall.  From how to handle your dining hall phobia, to what snacks to stock in your dorm room, this episode will help map out a college meal plan that is both delicious and nutritious.
