    Depends on your goals, how strenuous your activity is (tdee), how much food you eat, if you workout....a lot of factors. What are your goals though? Might make your question easier to answer

    Well for being a college student and single parent i juggle a lot. But after every semester ends i get the chance to get back into my running routine and eating better. However I have noticed once the semester starts again I loose my great habits because I get preocupied with school. So I just want some kind of direction on how to make sure I eat as best I can while I am away from home since the semester can take a toll on how often I cook and how often i excersice. Just trying to keep the range of low 120 or mid 115ish type

    Well it's all going to come down to your energy(calories) in vs energy out. If you're gaining weight, eat less or more more, and if you're dropping below your ideal weight then it's vice versa. You sound pretty active, but if weight is your premise and not really fitness/ conditioning, then focus on your food intake
