AWESOME AND USEFUL TIPS TO HELP STUDENTS EAT HEALTHIER
Added on: 18th Apr 2016
DON'T FOCUS ON WHAT YOU SHOULDN'T EAT,
BUT RATHER ON WHAT YOU SHOULD EAT
Although it goes without saying that you should reduce processed
foods, try to focus more on adding fruits, vegetables and
other nutritious elements to your diet.
STOCK UP ON (HEALTHY) SNACKS
Snacking is good, if you do it right. It’s always better to eat less
food more often than just gorge yourself once a day.
Make sure you snack healthy though (carrots, nuts, etc.)
MAKE SURE TO PUT SOME PROTEIN IN ALL
OF YOUR MEALS
Besides being good for you, it keeps you satiated for longer.
And yes, this advice applies for vegans as well.
ADD VEGETABLES FIRST
If you’re in a buffet or dining hall, always stock up your plate
with veggies first. Then go back and add protein, starch, etc.
FILL HALF YOUR PLATE WITH GREEN
If you are cooking at home (but once again this applies at buffets
as well), try to fill half of your plate with greens and the
other half with protein/starch.
CUT OUT THE SUGAR FROM YOUR DRINKS
Many of the empty calories we consume come from sugary drinks.
Try to dilute them with water so you can gradually wean
yourself off of them.
EAT PEANUT BUTTER
Even if it’s just with a spoon, peanut butter is a quick way to get
some protein and fats. Just try to choose the ones that are
low in sugar.
CHOOSE CEREALS WISELY
Whole grains and less than 10 grams of sugar per serving
should be your goal.
BUY FROZEN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
If you are concerned about fruits and veggies going bad,
just buy them frozen.
