Diet Analysis

Diet analysis appointments are available for students who are interested in evaluating or improving their diets.  A diet analysis will help you:

  • Assess, monitor and modify your diet as needed
  • Ensure your nutritional needs are being met
  • Optimize your diet to enhance your personal health goals
  • Evaluate your meal planning

All diet analysis appointments include a one-on-one meeting with a trained peer health educator.  They will help you navigate your diet analysis results and answer any general questions you might have.  You will also receive educational resources on nutrition and healthy eating and referrals to professional staff as needed.

Diet analysis forms can be picked up in Health and Wellness Promotion on the first floor of The Well (Room 1011).  Completed forms should be returned to Health and Wellness Promotion and during that time, an appointment will be made to review results. 

If you are a faculty member interested in using diet analysis as part of your class, please contact Shauna Schultz, RD at 916-278-6038 or schultzs@csus.edu.
