This is a phrase to refer to the fifteen pounds freshman students gain on average in their first year of college. This is mostly because eating habits change. For example, when studying with friends, it is easy to also snack with friends. This and stress from exams and homework can make you eat and eat, and eat…
Here is some things you can do:
Enjoy your walk around campus. Yeah, I know, it is hard to walk all over campus. However, use it as a time to do a little exercise.
Snack Healthy. Don’t just settle for junk food, find ways to get creative with your snacks. For example, you could buy healthy snacks and bring them to school.
Pack a lunch. Buying food is not always the best option. First, you spend money, and second, you give control away about the foods you eat and the ingredients in it. Try to pack a lunch at least twice a week.
Exercise. This is your best option. Walk for at least 20 minutes every day and get into a routine that will help you walk or run regularly.
