College food hacks

What should I eat in the dorms? How often an I eat the baked ziti without being a glutton? How do I avoid the freshman 15? These are a few questions college students navigate through. As a college graduate myself I navigated nutrition throughout my entire time in college. It's where I figured out what was healthy and how to cook! 

Cooking in a dorm or crappy house can be a challenge though. Here are a few staples I used to make in college or found in the dorms. 

Breakfast

Oatmeal

Cereal & granola 

Granola bars

Lots of coffee

Lunch & dinner

Salad (we had a salad spinner at my dorm that a frequented) 

Make your own stir fry

Wraps

Mexican bowls

Healthy vegetarian boxed meals (Annie's or healthy choice)
