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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Choose cereals wisely

Whole grains and less than 10 grams of sugar per serving

should be your goal.

 

 

BUY FROZEN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

Buy frozen fruits and vegetables

If you are concerned about fruits and veggies going bad,

just buy them frozen.
