Below are answers to questions we had to answer after completing our food diary…

4) Overall, the nutritional value of the meals/snacks this group of students is consuming is sub par, as every nutrient, but protein, the students were not consuming enough.

5) A suggestion for the food service managers on campus would be to try to offer more nutrient rich food, except for protein, which most people are getting the right amount of, most likely through different types of meat. While the food service managers can not make students eat any certain food, it might create beneficial results if they offered more foods with more carbohydrates and lipids.

6) Personally, I am not a huge fan of many spices, but I am sure many other students are. Many spices do have nutritional value such as chili pepper, so adding some spice to our food at the commons could increase our overall nutritional intact every day.
