Nourish Well
The food we eat to fuel our bodies, food security, honoring hunger and fullness, and eating mindfully.
Start your day with a healthy breakfast
Avoid the temptation to rush out the door on an empty stomach by planning ahead. Stock up on healthy ingredients that make quick meals, and prioritize protein to keep you full.
Keep healthy snacks on hand.
It is important to keep healthy, energy-boosting snacks in your dorm, backpack, and other easily accessible locations. If you can keep them fresh, fruits and vegetables are always great options. But string cheese, yogurt, and heart-healthy nuts also are convenient and help keep you full and energized.
Practice moderation.
Eating well and avoiding weight gain doesn’t mean you have to give up all of your favorite treats. Just be mindful of your portions and practice moderation when eating sugary snacks, fried foods, and other indulgences. Allowing yourself to enjoy a small treat every now and then may help ward off binge-eating and other unhealthy eating behaviors.
