What is Balanced U?

Balanced U is a holistic approach to food and nutrition. It’s based on one concept-we eat food. To help our customers understand how food plays into health, Balanced U consists of three components: Icons, Monthly Subjects and Stealth Health.

Icons: A basic icon system to easily identify better options (limited in nutrients that can be detrimental to health); vegetarian options, vegan options and sustainable food choices. Eating healthy should not focus on what a food doesn’t have, instead it should focus on what it does have. Nutrient dense with limited amounts of fats, sodium, cholesterol and calories.

Monthly Subjects: Educational opportunities developed to focus on functional food topics of interest to students and positively impact a healthy lifestyle.

Stealth Health: A back of the house kitchen responsibilities to increase the nutritional value of foods served to students. Goals include reducing calories, sodium, fat, saturated fat and cholesterol, increasing fruit and vegetable intake and increasing fiber intake.
 

This icon identifies some of the best meal options we offer. They provide a balance of nutrients to portion size. Foods identified with this label must not exceed these nutrient limits:
