Between classes, jobs, sports and club meetings it can be hard for college students to get the nutritious meals they need, especially when the cafeteria fries are calling their names.
Buzzfeed recently came out with a list of healthy tips, perfect for college students. These tips range from adding nutrition to each meal to quick recipes to meal prep.
Here are a couple that are totally do-able:
- Stock your dorm room with snacks that aren’t junk food.
- Keep an emergency granola bar in your backpack. Ones with protein and fiber will help keep you awake and focused.
- Take extra fruit and vegetables from the dining hall for later.
- Carry a water bottle with you.
It will only take a few minutes to look through the rest of Buzzfeed’s tips, so go ahead and pause Netflix until you’ve taken one step toward living a healthier lifestyle.
Your future self will thank you. And House of Cards really can wait.
