This year, I moved off campus and I love it. The only downside is that I have to make my own meals and make sure that I am eating healthy. I love to cook but being a college student, an engineering college student, limits my time sometimes. These are my main ways of keeping healthy and eating well.
1. Make breakfast something quick but filling.
 |
| Usually for breakfast, I have coffee with honey, an apple or banana and a protein bar. On the weekends, I make breakfast sandwiches but this is a fast filling breakfast for those busy mornings. (I tend to not be the happiest in the morning so this was my attempt at a smile. It was more like talk to the apple, friend.) 2. Make lunch something simple but delicious. Enjoy your midday break. |
 |
| I usually study after class so I bring lunch with me. Tuna with hummus on cucumbers is one of my favorite fast easy lunches that gets better the longer it sits. Pack a fork and knife and it's good to go. |
 |
| When I have my longer day on campus, I bring a mason jar salad piled with goodies. This salad had moroccan lentils, chia seeds, peppers, homemade vinaigrette and spinach. An apple was the sweetness and I had a baby apple juice with it. It takes two minutes to make but it tastes AMAZING. |
3. Snack on healthy snacks while studying.
 |
| When I'm studying, I tend to eat yogurt or snack on grape tomatoes or carrots. I like light snacks that aren't too bad for my diet as well as healthy. |
4. Make dinner that is fast, decadent and enough for leftovers.
 |
| There are those nice weekend nights where I have a little time to cook. This recipe is so simple. Radiatore pasta, a Parmesan Basil Recipe Starter, three Dorot Chopped Basil cubes and a ton of parmesan cheese and garlic. I always doctor up jarred sauce but they really are so convenient. I made enough pasta to last me like 3 meals. It was so enjoyable.
Hopefully, these tips help you to live a healthier happier college life.
