Students enjoying healthy food

Whether you're a rookie at the University Maryland or a grizzled veteran, welcome to Feed The Turtle!

Looking for nutritional information? Healthful recipes? Exercise tips? You've come to the right place, because we're here to serve as your basic guide to healthy living in College Park. Feel free to use this site as your personal tool.

The site has a bunch of different sections, so take some time to browse around. If you're a freshman or a first-time user, make sure to take a look at "On-Campus Eating Options" before you make your next trip to the Diner—some of the information might surprise you!

Also, if you have a question that is not answered on the website, make sure to use our "Ask the Dietician" feature. Nancy Brenowitz, UMD's Dietetics program director, will return your email in a few days.

Throughout the next few months, this particular page will be updated with articles as well as links to other portions of the site, so make sure to come back often.

We also send out a weekly e-mail with tips and helpful information, so contact us if you'd like to receive our newsletter.

The first step to living a long, healthful life is to learn the right (and wrong) ways to eat and exercise. We want to help you take that step. Welcome to Feed The Turtle!
