Eat Well Program

Eat Well

A common challenge with making healthy lifestyle choices is finding nutritious options when eating outside of your home. It’s confusing, intimidating, and often frustrating. How much sodium is in that meal? What about hidden fat in sauces? How do you know if you’re making the right choice?

We have made it easier for students to find healthier choices! The Eat Well program highlights “better-for-you” menu selections by featuring an eye-catching icon to help you quickly and easily spot healthier choices.

Look for the Eat Well logo in our participating dining locations for options that fit many of the following criteria:
