- Have a healthy diet - aim for 5 fruits and veggies a day, lots of different colors of foods, a variety of different food groups, and no sugary drinks like soda or juice!
- Take the “Cooking for the every day eater” optional enrichment elective to learn how to cook new foods and learn about nutrition.
- In your fourth year, enroll in the Leadership elective and participate in the cooking class.
- Get to the grocery store and try some new recipes - we have so many places in Worcester to check out! Stop and Shop, Trader Joe’s (awesome recipes here), and Whole Foods (opening January 2018!) are right across the bridge. Price Chopper and Wegman’s are a short drive down Route 9.
- Download an app like LoseIt! To see how many calories you’re eating each day and what percentages of carbs, fat, and protein you are getting. Many apps are easy to use with barcode scanning of foods to get nutritional information.
- Reflect on the foods you’re eating after writing in a food diary for several days and see what changes you can make for a healthier diet.
