Nutrition Consultations
Do you have questions or concerns about eating, or do you want to eat better? You can meet with UB's registered dietitian for assistance. Topics include:
- weight loss
- sports nutrition
- digestive concerns
- weight gain
- eating disorders
- hypertension
- building muscle
- high cholesterol
- diabetes
Follow these steps:
- The first step to improving your diet is awareness. Print the food record forms: PDF (31KB) or Word (107KB) and record everything you eat and drink for three days--any two weekdays and one weekend day.
- Try to record your meals immediately after you eat (can you remember what you had for lunch two days ago?). It is essential that you record three typical days, not just "good" days. Also, do not record your intake on any day that is unusual or when you don't feel well. The more detailed (and honest!) you are, the better analysis you'll get.
- Call Wellness Education Services, 645-2837 ext. 0 to schedule an appointment. Complete your food record forms.
- Come to your scheduled nutrition appointment and bring your food record forms. The initial meeting typically covers healthy weight ranges, realistic goals, resources for becoming more physically active, and will address any specific questions you have.
- Improving your eating and physical activity habits takes time and commitment, but can make you feel better, reduce your stress level, and help you stay in good health now and in the future. This service is free to any registered UB student!
