Nutrition & Wellness
Campus Recreation and the NIU School of Family, Consumer, and Nutrition Sciences work together to provide graduate-level dietetic interns to assist in providing nutrition education. Two nutrition coaching sessions are available, free of charge for students and one free session is available for non-student members to assist with understanding personal nutritional needs and how to make smart food choices. Additional sessions are available for a nominal fee.
One-on-one sessions are private coaching sessions that may include follow-up meetings or referrals. Clients are asked to complete a Client Assessment Questionnaire and 3-Day Food Log prior to their initial appointment.
Some of the ways nutrition coaching might help:
- Determining caloric requirements
- Menu and food planning
- Restaurant and residence hall dining
- Recipe development
- Healthy weight management
- Development of healthy eating habits
