The Real Deal on Nutrition will return to regular posts on January 3rd. Happy New Year!

Enjoy Winter break!

Enjoy your Winter break. Dining Services looks forward to welcoming you back for the Winter Quarter on Sunday, January 2nd.

Check out the HDH website for hours: http://hdh.ucsd.edu/diningservices/hours.asp

Relax and have fun during your break from school. Eat well too!

Today At Pines

Today's Vegan Option at Pines is the LiveWell Yaki Soba Noodles.

It's only $5.95 with one side. Vegan, LiveWell, yummy!

LiveWell Through Finals Week

Don't forget to eat well through Finals Week by choosing the healthy, RD-approved, LIVEWELL menu items in all of the Dining restaurants.

LiveWell meals meet nutrition criteria for calories, fat, protein, sodium, fiber and other nutrients.

Look for the LiveWell logo (pictured at right) for your next healthy meal.

Good luck on your finals!

The Sun Sets on Fall Quarter!

Well, it's finals week!

Here are some exam time eating tips to help you get through the stress of finals:

• eat regularly (about every 4-5 hours) Don't skip meals even during marathon study sessions.
• take breaks for meals and snacks. Get up from your studies. Don't snack while studying - you'll be distracted and might just snack because you are stressed.
• Don't overload on caffeine to stay awake. Go to sleep! Well-rested students perform better on tests.

Good luck on your finals!

Don't forget the fruit!

Well, today is the last day of classes for Fall quarter. That means:
FINALS ARE HERE!

When studying, don't forget the fruit.

Fruits are healthy, quick, convenient snacks that you can eat anytime.

Stop by a Dining restaurant or Place & Market to pick up a piece or two of fruit today. The picture to the right is a banana that I got from Plaza Cafe and a tangerine from Roger's Place & Market.
