"Puppy fat" needs to go

I never had the typical "freshman fifteen" thing (probably because I didn't drink in college and tried my best to eat sensibly), but I did gain a few pounds that came right back off after I graduated. It's just the lifestyle - inconsistent schedule, night eating, etc. And eating right is especially hard if your dining hall was as awful as mine!

My best advice: When going to the dining hall, try not to gravitate toward the fries just because there's no other option (as a lot of my friends did). Look around and see what you can put together yourself. I lived on cold cuts and kept my fluid intake to mostly water. And watch the cereals like Trix and Lucky Charms! Also - NIGHT EATING was something I did constantly in my dorm while studying or bored. Try to buy healthy staples, not nachos and sour cream to keep around.
