All your doctor has to do is produce a report explaining (a) that you have a medical condition that requires a particular diet and (b) how she knows that. (Well, I say that generally. You may want to check to see exactly what documentation they are going to want for something like that.)

Then you take it to the disability office, where they attempt to figure out whether there's a way to give you an adequate diet through the dining hall. It very frequently is. Dining halls regularly provide adequate food for people with metabolic disorders like diabetes, food allergies, and so on.

But if it isn't, they'll probably let you prepare your own meals and not make you pay.

Thinking that you will not like the food provided is probably not going to get you out of the contract no matter what documentation you provide. If they were going to let people out of the contract for thinking that they wouldn't like the food, the plan wouldn't be mandatory in the first place.
