Investigate the healthy options in your school's dining hall. Nearly every college has a salad bar, where you can load up on leafy greens, juicy tomatoes and low-fat vinaigrette dressing. Opt for a grilled chicken sandwich instead of a greasy burger and munch on an apple instead of scooping up ice cream.
Play it smart at fast food restaurants. Ask for a plain baked potato instead of calorie laden fries, order your tacos without cheese or sour cream and choose pizza that's light on cheese and heavy on veggies.
Skip sugary drinks. A non-diet soda contains around 180 calories and a blended coffee drink can contain more than 500 calories. Drink plenty of water and satisfy a caffeine craving with diet soda or--even better--green tea.
Stock your dorm room with healthy snacks. When you've been studying for hours and need a snack break, you'll reach for whatever is convenient. Keep foods like dried fruit, walnuts and plain popcorn close by.
