## What is Swipe Dining?

Swipe is the smartest way to eat well at UConn dining.

Browse every dining hall menu, see a clear 0–99 health score for each item, and track your nutrition without the guesswork. Whether you're managing allergens, hitting a protein goal, or just trying to eat better, Swipe shows you what's actually good for you before you fill your plate.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

- See health scores at a glance — Every food gets a 0–99 score based on protein, fiber, sodium, sugar, and more, so you can compare options instantly.

- Filter for your needs — Set your allergens and dietary preferences once. Swipe flags conflicts and personalizes every score to you.

- Browse all dining halls and retail — Northwest, Putnam, South, McMahon, North, Towers, Whitney, Connecticut, plus campus retail spots. Live open/closed hours included.

- Track your nutrition — Log meals to your food journal and watch your daily protein, calories, and macros add up toward your goals.

- Build custom meals — Combine dining hall items, packaged foods, or your own entries to see the full nutrition and health score of a complete meal.

- Search a full food catalog — Look up UConn items and common packaged foods, or scan a barcode for instant nutrition info.

- Compare dining halls — See which hall has the best options for your goals right now.

Built by a UConn student, for UConn students. Free to use.

### 5/5 — BEST APP FOR UCONN NUTRITION

*2026-04-23*

I’ve used other apps like Hubsky and the standard dining hall website, but nothing has been easier to use than Swipe. I am on a calorie deficit and tracking my calories with the in-app journal and knowing exactly how many calories are in the dishes at the dining hall is so clutch. I’ve lost 20 pounds using SWIPE as my sole calorie counter while at UConn. Thanks to the creator, it’s so seamless to use.

### 5/5 — Very easy to use app

*2026-03-05*

This is by far the best UConn app I’ve used. If a student created this, they need an internship of their choice. If this is a faculty member, they 
need a raise. Much appreciation for whoever created it🙏🙏
