Our goal is to make delicious, healthy eating easier for you! Although some of the choices are new to the dining rooms, many were there already and we've just identified them so you know your options.

All Sargent Choice meals reflect the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 for variety, moderation, and proportionality. Combining these principles with moderate physical activity will help you stay healthier, maintain a healthy weight and improve your overall well-being. Here are just a few examples of how a well-balanced diet can help you:

Eating whole grains helps with weight management by keeping you feeling full longer, provides you with more nutrition for fewer calories and helps you sustain your energy

Eating a colorful variety of fruits and vegetables not only gives you important nutrients you can't get from other foods, it also fills you up with fewer calories

Lean protein and low-fat dairy products provide vital nutrients for the health and maintenance of your body, without artery-clogging saturated fat and extra calories

All Sargent Choice entrees and a la carte items are reduced in sodium including sauces, salad dressings and soups which are traditionally very high in sodium. Flavor is enhanced by including other flavorful ingredients such as fresh herbs and spices and preparation methods such as roasting recommended by the chefs of BU Dining Services.
