Carleton University, in Ottawa, Canada, offers an app called 'Live It Good Plus' that is ostensibly an app for the various campus dining services. However, students using the app will quickly see that it is so much more, offering to help students with many different aspects of campus life.
As with many other campus dining apps, Live It Good Plus lets students see what's on the menu at the university's various dining halls. But it extends far beyond that simple service. In terms of dining and nutrition, the app has a section for articles and nutritional tips, helping students to implement that healthy data into their meal choices on campus. It also lets students find meal deals and earn point for prizes.
Further, the app offers similar articles and tips related to fitness, because a healthy lifestyle includes both dining and exercise.
