Good morning, Cards! If you have ever felt overwhelmed or confused when navigating where and what to eat on campus, then you are not alone. Most UofL students have been or are currently in this difficult position and lack guidance when it comes to finding nutrient dense meals to eat on campus. With that being said, today’s blog is dedicated to discussing UofL dining locations that offer nutrient dense meals that incorporate a variety of nutrients, vegetables, protein, and carbohydrates. To begin with is my person favorite, Ville Grill. VG offers a wide variety of dishes that are constantly rotating to keep things interesting. VG also offers an online menu that can be utilized when planning your meal before you arrive. Various nutrient dense meals you can build at VG for dinner today is:
Glazed chicken breast with roasted red potatoes, corn on the cob, and roasted broccoli
Salad with a variety of vegetables and legumes topped with tuna salad and a side of fruit
Veggie burger with corn on the cob, roasted red potatoes, and fresh zucchini
Pork chop with coleslaw, fresh zucchini, and roasted red potatoes
Grilled chicken and sesame noodles
Below are examples of nutrient dense meals that can be found throughout multiple UofL dining locations. Keep in mind that you can utilize GrubHub to order food online if you want to safely social distance.
