Eating Right at Campus Sites

One thing I have noticed a lot more of this year is healthy food choices at RPS dining services.



The newly remodeled Dining Room at Read now includes an "Eat Right" line, with healthier alternatives that are changed both day to day, and from lunch to dinner, to provide students with a wide variety of nutritious options. The line usually offers some type of healthier meat, like chicken breast or fish, several vegetable options, and fresh fruit.



There is always a salad bar with fresh veggies, hummus, pita, and a variety of fruits including pineapple, mandarin oranges, or fruit salads. While there are less healthy options as well, like burgers or pizza for days you choose to endulge, if you plan on maintaining a healthy diet at IU, RPS dining services provides you with everything you need.


In addition to all the above, the Hoosier Cafe has also started offering things like fruit plates, soy milk, yogurt, and their own salad bar daily. El Bistro offers less fattening sandwiches, a vegetarian option, and build-your-own dagwoods to get all of what you want, and none of what you don't, as well as options like orange juice, fruits, and yogurts.
