NUTRITION TIP
Trying to wean from whole milk to non-fat? A middle of the road approach is to mix ½ glass of 2% milk with ½ glass of non-fat milk to get 1%. Each DC glass holds approximately 16 oz, that’s 2 servings of dairy and approximately 600 mg of calcium, over half your daily requirement.

"Did You Know!" from Debi the Dietitian |
Is the Freshman 15 fact or fiction?
No, say several studies on college campus-what a relief! Average weight gain the first year of college is more realistically in the range of 4-6 lbs.
Reasons that weight gains occurs is multifaceted but observation shows that:
- Activity level and/or exercise decreases and individuals who were active in High School sports are not participating in favorite sports as freshman.
- Buffet style dining and all –you-can eat fares demand a conscious effort to choose healthier options. Less healthy choices are often fried foods, double entrees and sugar laden desserts and beverages. Opt for lower calorie items, single or half portions and have the high calorie foods less often.
- Mindless eating tends to increase especially in the evening and can include eating for other emotional reasons as boredom, loneliness, or stress. Late night eating can contribute to small weight gain over a period of time.
