Eating Healthy

Providing you with healthy options is something our dining team proudly does every day. We are here to help you select delicious, nutritious, and satisfying meals, snacks, and desserts by highlighting well-balanced menu choices and providing nutritional information and tips to help you make choices that fit your needs.

Meet your Dietitian

Lucas Flaherty, RDN, LDN, is available for complimentary consultations on topics such as:

• Food allergies, celiac disease, diabetes, or other special dietary needs
• Eating healthy on campus
• Vegan and vegetarian nutrition
• Weight management
• Campus Presentations
• Sports performance and fitness

Lucas' approach to healthy eating does not revolve around diets or calorie counting. His job as a dietitian is to simplify the way we think about food and how to use it in the most therapeutic ways.

Food Allergies

We take pride in serving you wholesome ingredients, preparing recipes accurately and providing nutritional analysis and ingredient statements through our online menus and nutrition calculator. From our General Manager to our Front Line Servers, we work carefully to address food allergies, celiac diets, or any other special dietary needs.

We want to meet one-on-one with anyone who has individual dining needs to ensure that your dining experience is safe, delicious, and social. If you have a food allergy/special diet concern and wish to meet with an AllerTrain Certified Blugold Dining staff member, please email us directly at dining@uwec.edu.
