Welcome!

Welcome to the Virginia Tech Dining Services interactive You’re Eating Smarter webpage! As a part of our continuing effort to provide students with the most up-to-date nutritional information, we have developed this website to aid you in making your diet more nutritionally complete. This website will provide you with facts, recipes, and blog topics about a variety of different foods, nutrients, and health conditions. The nutrient and food facts section will assist you in becoming better educated about individual nutrients and foods, the nutrition blog topics section is a student-to-student interactive page that gives Virginia Tech students ideas on how to incorporate these foods and nutrients into their diets, the recipes section provides you with recipes that promote a healthy lifestyle, and the health facts section will educate you about nutrient-related diseases. We are in the process of adding a page to provide students with specific dietary needs needed information. We hope that you find this site as a helpful tool in making your diet more complete . To gain even greater knowledge about health and nutrition, you can participate in a free, zero-credit nutrition class developed and managed by the dietitian for Dining Services. To get enrolled in the class, to get answers to your nutrition-related questions, and/or to give comments about this webpage, please email yes@vt.edu. New information will be added regularly, so continue checking back for new facts, recipes, and blogs!
