Thread: College Freshmen trying to eat right

college students have a tough time with this. but you'll have to change some things. i would never skip a meal. try to get in at least 4 meals[personally i have 6-7] but i'm not in college. drop the pizza and ice cream[use them as a treat at the end of the week, in moderation] if you have a fridge, but some cottage cheese, yogurt, skim milk. or even some whey protein if you can swing the bucks. i have to step sons in college, i know that your on a tight budget. also try to buy some ''raw'' nuts, almonds, walnuts are good. have a cup of yogurt and a handful of nuts and out the door you go. as far as your other meals. portions, a cup of rice or pasta are about the size of you fist. and the the samwe goes for the meat. try to remove the skin of the chicken[breast meat is best]. burgers i would eat plain. being in college is tough enough, but trying to eat healthy while going to college is even tougher. couple of ??'s, can or do you buy food, do you live on campus, or at home, do you have a part time job?

I always take the EAS Simply Protein 2 times a day. Sometimes, if I have time in the morning I'll have a protein shake and some oats. I live on campus in the dorms, no part time job, but money isn't a big issue. The problem is that it's impossible to get some quality protein sources in the dining halls. The only good thing they ever have is roast beef or turkey which is rare. Most of the fish they serve is breaded so that leaves me only with burgers as an option.
