of the Herbs and Spices Nutrition Education Program (HSNP-focusing on incorporating herbs and spices into the diet for adherence to the DGA's) for determining the scalability of implementing this intervention for a larger scale, more comprehensive study The main questions it aims to answer are:\n\n* What is the feasibility and acceptability of incorporating herbs and spices into the diet along with DGA-focused nutrition education through the HSNP in college students with poor dietary quality?\n* What are the preliminary effects of the HSNP on dietary intake\u002Fquality, cardiometabolic, and gut health in college students with poor dietary quality?\n* What are the barriers associated with HSNP implementation in college students with poor dietary quality?\n\nParticipants will:\n\n* Be asked to come to the study site initially for a Screening Study Visit to confirm eligibility.\n* Be asked to come the clinical study site for a Pre-HSNP and Post-HSNP Study Visit (one week prior starting the HSNP and after week 6 of completing the HSNP) for assessments of cardiometabolic and gut health.\n* Be asked to come to the Nutrition Center for weeks 0 and 3 of the HSNP, where they will receive education on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the health benefits of herbs and spices, have a sensory evaluation of foods, be provided budget-friendly recipes and resources, and given take-home herbs, spices, and supporting materials\n* Be asked to complete 3-Day Food Records throughout the 6 week study period for assessment of dietary quality (4
