Nutrition and Dietary Information
Staying healthy and fit starts with eating right, and at Duke, there are plenty of healthy dining options available. Duke Dining is committed to providing faculty, staff and students with a variety of nutritious food choices on campus.
The Duke community includes people from all over the world with different tastes and eating habits. Our diverse offerings are among the reasons that Duke has been ranked as the best in the nation for healthy campus food, according to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
Duke also has a strong commitment to sustainability with 70 percent of Duke Dining’s food waste composted, as well as ongoing efforts to source more food from local farms. To learn more about “green” dining at Duke, visit Duke Sustainability.
Balance Your Plate is an educational campaign, sponsored by Duke Student Health, Duke Dining and Bon Appétit, intended to address the “how to” of healthy eating at a glance. A plate that regularly reflects choices from all food groups, in moderate portions, is a practical and easy way to stay healthy and manage your weight.
