Wellness & You campaign kicks off with new food items MUSC Nutrition Services announces the introduction of Wellness & You items into the current dining menu.   Wellness & You is an innovative nutrition and health program designed by a team of Sodexho dietitians and culinary experts. Its purpose is to provide delicious foods that promote a healthy lifestyle.   All of the items included in this program meet standards based on the dietary guidelines for Americans established by the United States Department of Agriculture. Each entree serving must have no more than 550 calories, 15 grams of fat, 100 mg of cholesterol and 1,000 mg sodium. Sodium restricted entrees have 600 mg of sodium or less.   To kick off the Wellness & You campaign and introduce some of the new food items offered in the cafeteria, the MUSC dietetic interns will be hosting a Wellness & You theme day Feb. 1. On this day, the hot food line will feature selections from the program’s menu choices.
