any college students out there?

I'm pretty new to this website, trying to get into a habit of lower calorie/low carb, higher protein/fat meals in the proper portion sizes before I head back to college. I'd love to be friends with and give/receive advice from anyone so feel free to add me! I just figured I'd have the most in common with college students trying to be healthy in an an environment that fosters quite the opposite.

    Hi! i'm in college, I know what you mean! i thought the freshmen 15 was a myth until i realized to with college food the way it is how could u not gain those extra pounds! It’s so smart to start good habits now. Good luck!
  • Just graduated last year (though going back in the Fall to finish the last 2 courses I need to officially graduate). Then on to grad school. I never actually gained the Freshman 15...I just yoyo'd down and up that 15.

    Best wishes. Prep your own food when possible and see if your uni has a health/nutrition page with the info on all their food (mine did, it just hid really well) to keep track of school food.
  • I'm glad to see there is quite a few of us! If I haven't added you already, please feel free to add me. Support is an important part of this for me, especially in the college setting.

    I'm a college junior. I gained a bunch of weight sophomore year because of all the take out, and snacks I always found myself eating. I'm hoping this year will be different though.
  • I'm heading into my junior year of college :)

    Senior here! Woop woop!!!

    I never gained the Freshman 15. It was well into my Sophomore year before I actually gained. Sadly, I have a lot since then. But that is why I am here after all.

    Anyone feel free to add me. :)
