Dining Services wins 2009 Most Innovative Nutrition Program
You may have read about myNutrition, an innovative nutritional website from Dining Services, or enjoyed a Dinner with the Dining Services Registered Dietitian, or maybe even participated in the 2009 "Find Your Balance Challenge."
These three programs are all parts of what has been named the 2009 Most Innovative Nutrition Program, according to the National Association of College and University Food Services (NACUFS).
The nutrition program at Washington State University is a combination of innovative programs that centralize around the theme of "eat well, stay active, live fit." Using this theme as a stepping stone for all programs, Dining Services is continually putting into motion programs that will be beneficial and aid students, faculty, and staff in adopting healthy lifestyles.
Receiving this award is a great honor and illustrates Dining Services' commitment to "Making a Difference."

We have a variety of snacks, sides, and beverages that meet healthy options criteria. Each dining center also serves a Vegetarian Entree and a Healthy Options 500 Calorie Meal Daily.
Recipes and Ingredients
All units have unique menus and recipes. If you have questions regarding ingredients in a specific menu item while in the dining centers, please contact the unit manager on duty. The Unit Chef, or the General Manager will provide you with the ingredient information for a specific menu item.
By informing our dietitian, we can best serve you by pointing out which foods to avoid. If you are having an allergic reaction, seek medical help immediately.
