First Lt. Leah Evert, a dietitian and wellness program manager, says being in the Army has made her a better leader and given her more confidence. Assigned to the 4215th U.S. Army Hospital in Richmond, Va., Evert says she joined the military because she knew her clinical skills as a dietitian would be valuable to soldiers who need to improve their health and lose weight, like many other Americans.

Florida registered dietitian Kelsee Gomez helped a group of women test diet applications for mobile devices and found that several underestimated the number of calories they should be consuming each day. She advises against maintaining a calorie level that is below resting metabolic rate because it slows metabolism and works against weight-loss goals.  WKMG-TV (Orlando, Fla.) (10/2) - Local and small ice cream companies exempt from nutrition labeling
Some customers prefer local ice cream companies that use regional ingredients, but federal rules mean nutritional labels aren't required on such products, so consumers don't know the fat and calorie content. "I think because it's ice cream, knowing the calories matters even more. Even among brands that both taste good -- say Breyer's and Haagen Dazs -- there's a tremendous difference in fat and sugar content," said Margo Wootan from the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

Nearly half of college freshmen examined gained 10 or more pounds by the end of their senior year, with 18% piling on 20 pounds or more, a study in Applied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism revealed.

AL.com (Alabama) (10/2) | Institutional Foodservice | | - School meal standards get positive response from students
School nutrition professionals in a Maine district say they are working to comply with new federal meal standards by serving more produce and whole grains and cutting back on protein and calories. So far, the meals have been a hit with students, who have not complained about the changes or the smaller portions. Cheryl Ellis, food service director, says she keeps a salad bar available to students throughout each lunch period, so they have healthy options available if they are still hungry.
