Nutrition is the study of food at work in our bodies, our source for energy, and the medium through which our nutrients can function. There are six main categories of nutrients: carbohydrates, fats, minerals, protein, vitamins and water. Independently and cooperatively nutrients play a key role in the creating a stable and healthy environment for our bodies.
The Phoenix Restaurant at The National University of Maynooth, owned by Compass Group Ireland has incorporated more promotions and schemes to help consumers and staff alike become more aware of their calorie intake and the elements of the meals on offer. The restaurant offers a fantastic menu that supports all of your dietary needs. Catering for all, Phoenix has delicious pastas, succulent meats (chicken, beef, ham, pork), and fresh fruit and veg. Along with the healthy salad bar the restaurant offers students some tasty treats such as daily pizzas, burgers, chips, baguettes.
“The Phoenix is a nice place to chill and to get some great food. The Phoenix has a great selection and the food is always freshly cooked and well-priced. As a student it’s hard to cook to the same high standard as Phoenix. Our trainer recommends us to eat there to get the necessary nutrients for maximum potential in training” says Gary Hurley (Paddy Harrington Golf Scholar & Irish International).
