No Healthy Food Options for College Students?


Q: I live in the dorms and dining hall food is all you can eat. How do I control my eating habits? I keep passing by the cookie tray and picking one up on the way out. Is there anything I can do to make myself eat less?

A: The freshman 15 and senior saddlebags overwhelm many college students. You are on your own for the first time and responsible for choosing from a wide variety of foods. Mom is no longer nudging you toward the nectarines, and late-night pizza parties abound. You probably don’t exercise as much as you used to.

Also, you feel cornered by the food in the caf. Cream-based casseroles, plentiful pastries, mystery meat and all the sugary cereals you could imagine. And, who can forget the cookie trays? But, is it really that you have no options or could you make different choices?
