Post Food Diary Discussion
4.) Q: Looking at the CLASS DATA, what conclusions can you draw about the nutritional value of the meals/snack this group of students is consuming?
A:The food seems to be low in the macronutrients that we need. There are vegetables and limited fruit that you can eat at the dining hall. You have a salad stand and then apples, pears, and bananas. You’ll occasionally have a solid carb meal here and there, but it’s not enough for us to consume the right amount of carbs we need in our diet. I feel as if there’s enough protein in what is served, but also the fats are most dominant in what is served.
5.) Q: Assuming the majority of the food consumed is from the Commons dining hall and/or other venues on campus, what suggestions do you have for the food service managers?
A:More fruit options. The salad bar is great but they offer little fruit options. Also, they should serve less fatty foods like pizza and ice cream during all meals. Last, the fruits should always be kept out. Don’t pull the fruits for more room for different desserts.
6.) Q: What spices do you wish were available in the dining hall? Are there nutrients in spices?
A: I’m personally not someone that likes to add spices on top of what is already cooked. I think we have a decent variety of spices in what is served at the dining hall. Also, spices do come with nutrients.
