Healthy eating in college

I'm a college student too. Completely agree with mmarie_3! I cook a lot on weekends, all lunch and dinner options. I make more than I need for about 5 days. I allow myself one day a week to eat dinner out with friends, whatever I want! I think that's a good sanity check. Breakfasts are usually something rich in protein and carbs and low in unhealthy fats and sugars (stop eating cereal) to fuel me up and I pack an honey-sweetened skim milk avocado milkshake everyday to class to sip when I get hunger pangs. When cooking, try to make equal amounts of veggies, carbs (brown rice instead of processed carbs like bread) and lean meats as far as possible. Baking is way easier on my time than stove-top. You can even pop in a few things into the oven at once. Planning may sound tedious and time-consuming. But a couple of hours spent cooking on weekends saves you money, time and tons of unhealthy choices! All the best.
