Eat This Over That!

As college students, we are exposed to so many different food options on campus. Pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, fries you name it. Now most of us don't really pay attention to what we eat or how much we consume on a daily basis. Let's face it. Fast Food is tasty, convenient, and cheaper. It is actually expensive to eat healthy. Even though there are healthy options to choose from on campus, we go directly to the fast food line. Now, if you stay in the resident hall I know it is a constant struggle everyday especially when you have a meal plan. Commuters have it  rough too. We are tempted to buy something unhealthy on campus or drive to the closest McDonald's or Wendy's for lunch. I am going to share with you some tips to make healthy options. 


1) Eat every 2 to 3 hours


2)Choose one day out of the week to prepare your meals for the week


3)Your meals should include Protein, Carbs, and Veggies.


4)Portion Control


5) Drink plenty of water (8 glasses daily) 


5) Choose healthy snacks in between meals.


I know this is easier said than done, but I can assure you will feel better during the day. You will notice a change in your energy. It is AMAZING how bad we feel when we consume so much food high in fat and chemically processed foods. When I eat better I feel the difference. It is like when you eat a big meal and you want to go straight to sleep afterwards. 


As a senior college student I am making better food choices as well as exercising daily. I really dislike the word "Diet" because it is so temporary. These habits should be a way of life. So I encourage you to take control and start eating healthier. You will feel better . I promise you!
