Use this guide to determine the best meal plan for your eating habits.
Is breakfast the most important meal of the day for you, or are you the type who can only stomach coffee in the morning? Do you skip lunch every day or do you feel compelled to gorge at noon? Perhaps you're a light eater with a passion for vegetarian eating. When it comes to food, everyone has a style of their own—which is why we offer four different resident plan options.
