Healthy eating with the meal plan?

<p>Are there plenty of healthy, non-processed foods to choose from? Salads, fruits, lean meats? I figure we are talking about NYU students, so there must be such foods.</p>

<p>Upstein has a decent salad bar. Actually i think all the dining halls have a salad bar, but Upstein's is the best. There are also fruits at every dining hall...bananas, apples, oranges, etc that people just take up to their rooms for later.</p>

<p>i have a question about Starbucks....can we use a meal there? or only dining dollars? For instance, can we get a danish and a coffee or something to that effect and charge it as a meal or only use our declining dollars? I assume the latter, but it's worth asking....</p>

<p>Oh yeah, the "meal exchange"...if you wanted to, could you use all your meals on meal exchange at one of the restaurants? And if so, are there any healthy restaurants?</p>

<p>You can only use dining dollars at starbucks, not a meal (why would you want to anyway...one meal comes out to $8-$9, not worth a danish and coffee if you ask me!) and this goes the same for dunkin' donuts.</p>

<p>duobeef i don't know what restaurants you're talking about. You can only use the meal plan at nyu dining halls. Unless you mean the meal exchange options at upstein? (Chick-fil-A, Quizno's, Salad bar, etc)</p>

<p>Yeah nirvana I wasn't sure exactly what chains there are. I know you can use your meals and those places, but what other places are there?</p>

<p>I didn't know they had Chick-fil-A's up north...yummmm.</p>

<p>What about vegetarian/vegan food?</p>

<p>I personally don't feel like the dining hall food is as bad as people say it is. So it's not the Ritz-Carlton, but it's certainly decent. I've been eating it for a week, and I feel fine. :D</p>

<p>Vegetarians won't have much of a problem, but I think that vegans might. However, since I'm not a vegan, I can't vouch for how many options are animal-product free. The dining halls all have nutritional information about everything they serve, so you should be able to look it up.</p>

<p>What do you mean by "meal exchange"? I mean....if u get a meal at Upstein's Quizno's.....a meal is deducted correct?</p>

<p>correct...a quizno's "meal exchange" includes a sandwich, medium drink, and chips or fruit.</p>

<p>the real question is..</p>

<p>what size sandwich</p>

<p>the quizno's "regular" size. That's like 8 inches or so?</p>
