After a summer of outdoor activities, eating healthy fruits and vegetables of the season, not to mention free meals with the ‘rents- things are about to change.
Does this sound familiar?
· Late night studying -and snacking
· Late night studying- and sitting, sitting
· Partying -and snacking and consuming caloric beverages
· Grabbing quick and cheap meals in (or out) of the cafeteria
This can add on the pounds. No wonder the term the freshman 15 has caught on. But with a little planning, this does not have to happen.
Sure we can give you a list of what to avoid, but we’d rather talk about what you can do.
While studying and snacking, maybe try a yogurt and pretzels or an apple and string cheese as an alternative to the many trips for chips or candy bars from the vending machine. How about a party where you make our own pizza? A simple prepared crust with lots of healthy ingredients – It is not only good for you, but it takes the focus off of only eating and/or drinking.
The cafeteria is a handy place eat, but know their sneaky philosophy – they put the dessert out first and when you are hungry they are tempting. Dessert is ok, but let’s not make it the main item on your tray.
These are just a couple of hints, but as recent graduates we know a few more trick that we can share with you on our First Kitchen DVD
Good luck!
