School may look and feel differently this year, however, many of the same options are available to students from Campus Dining and beyond. The good news is you can find a variety of options to meet your needs and satisfy your taste buds!
Balanced Buckeyes
Campus dining has a variety of options that are nutritious and delicious. To create a balanced meal, aim for a mix of macronutrients by including 3 or more food groups with at least one protein or dairy source and one fruit or vegetable. For examples, check out this My Plate: Campus Dining handout of different meal ideas you can find across campus.
Grab-and-Go
The Grubhub app is available to order food ahead of time and will alert you when your food is ready for pick up, or you can have food delivered by select restaurants. Campus dining has a variety of prepackaged meals and snacks to choose from, some of which you can find on these handouts: Campus Dining Snacks and Prepackaged Snacks (page 2). On days you have a busy schedule, consider stocking up on food the day before so you can have it readily available for the next day.
Net Nutrition
For students with food allergies or dietary preferences, use Campus Dining’s Net Nutrition to explore what options are available at different dining locations. This also includes nutrition and ingredient information so you can make choices to fit your dietary needs. Information can be found on Campus Dining’s website by selecting the Nutrition link and Net Nutrition, and through the OSU app after selecting the “Campus” tab and scroll down to “Dining.”
Home Cookin’
While you may not always have access to your kitchen from home, there are things you can make in your residence hall using your microwave and mini fridge! Check out the Student Wellness Center’s College Cookbook which includes a compiled list of easy-to-make recipes of meals, snacks, and treats!
Nutrition Coaching
Whether you have health concerns or are interested in optimizing your health, students are welcome to schedule a free nutrition coaching appointment through the Student Wellness Center. We hope to see you soon!
