Sensible Ways to Eat Healthy for Students Living off Campus
Although your parents and teachers may remind you to make healthy meal choices, it can be difficult to do so. While in off-campus housing, you may struggle to buy better quality foods after paying your bills each month. Also, without much knowledge of cooking, you may not have many successful recipes under your belt. Fortunately, there are sensible ways to eat healthily. Keep reading to learn a couple.
Find Cheap, Smart Snacks
There are some snacks that you know aren’t good for you, but you munch on them anyway. Cookies and chips are tasty and make you happy when you eat them. However, you are loading your body with lots of ingredients it does not need. Rather than doing this, you can find cheaper, smarter snacks in the fruit and veggie section of the grocery store. Bring home apples, oranges, cucumbers, carrots, and yogurt to your LSU off-campus housing. You will feel more energetic and notice a better mood each day.
Eat Enough Meals
When you are in a hurry, it seems more sensible to grab a cup of coffee or a donut to satisfy your hunger. However, this can give you a boost for a few hours, and then you will crash again. Instead of this rollercoaster of energy, you can eat several times a day and have a consistent source of energy. The best way to ensure you get this done is by packing healthy bites while at LSU off-campus housing and keeping them in your bag. You can also run to the dining hall and pick up a few items to carry with you as you progress through your day.
