Menu labeling can be helpful for people to process the nutrition information as they are figuring out healthy options to eat.  Since coming to Dickinson College, about a year ago, I have been asked this very same question, multiple times.  Currently Dining Services is working with Library and Information Services to get this information posted on their webpage.  This will provide an array of nutrition information for people to view anything from calories to grams of protein and carbohydrates of foods offered at all the eateries here on campus.  Until the nutrition facts are available online, dining services has told me that they have the information available upon request.  Students and staff can contact Mark Yohe, Assistant manager at yohe@dickinson.edu or call extension 1318. 

Also, if you are interested in learning how to build healthy, energy boosting meals and snacks here on campus, I recommend making an appointment with me.   I work with students on how to take good nutrition practices and apply them to eating on and off campus.  Setting up an appointment is quick and easy, contact the Wellness Center at extension 1663. 

Great question!  Currently I am working with Dickinson College students, staff and faculty only and not family members that are not employed or registered here for classes. 

I recommend checking out the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly known as the American Dietetics Association) at www.eatright.org and click on Find a Registered Dietitian tab.  You can search for registered dietitians related to location and areas of expertise, for example weight loss or food allergies.  

Whoever you decide to see for nutrition therapy I recommend seeing a Registered dietitian.  "Registered dietitians, or RDs, are the food and nutrition experts, translating the science of nutrition into practical solutions for healthy living. The expertise, training and credentials that back a registered dietitian are vital for promoting positive lifestyle choices.  They are able to separate facts from fads and translate nutritional science into information you can use. A registered dietitian can put you on the path to a healthy weight, eating healthfully and reducing your risk of chronic disease."
