Scrambled Eggs Breakfast College Edition


   So I recently entered college and as everyone knows, college dining halls are not five star restaurants. I go to Montclair State University and typically eat at Sam's place, one of the two unlimited swipes dining halls. Now, when I entered college, I knew that I wanted to keep up with the three meals per day. So, every morning, no matter the time of my first class, I head over to the dining hall and have a healthy serving of scrambled eggs. In my opinion, it is difficult to mess up scrambled eggs, so the eggs here are not that bad, especially if you add salt and pepper to spice it up. On days where I have a class at 10:00, I typically will have an omelette with spinach and cheese and surprisingly, it is delicious. 
To sum up my college tips, the three most important pieces of advice I can offer a student would be: 
1. Have three meals a day because you will definitely need it. No matter how you fit it into your schedule, it is vital.
2. Stay out of your dorm, especially if you have care packages and going away gifts in the form of candies and food. Trust me you are less likely to binge if you are out doing work.
3. And finally, make sure you keep your diet balanced with your greens, starches, and protein.
Thanks for reading and I will see you next Wednesday for another college update!

College/ healthy alternative breakfast

Hi everyone! I apologize for not posting last week but I've been extremely busy. I am back on my normal schedule and hope you all enjoy the next few posts to come! So, I know in the morning it is easy to skip breakfast and/or have a really unhealthy cereal with some whole milk, or even a pop tart. But please, take the extra five minutes to just eat some breakfast such as eggs, a fruit, and a grain. Typically, I will eat an apple on my walk to class but today, since I had a little more time, I had an omelette, Raisin Bran, and a banana when I will typically have scrambled eggs and pepper. As for the healthy alternative, what I mean is that instead of a sugary cereal such as froot loops or pop tarts, you can have Raisin Bran which helps with gut health as well as a banana or apple for natural sugars, rather than processed sugars. Trust me when I say that making and eating scrambled eggs can take only 10 minutes since scrambled eggs cook fairly quickly and they are quick to eat. Th...

College Lunches

9-18-17 So it took me about two weeks to figure out what to have for lunch in my dining halls. Since lunch doesn't particularly have any specific foods that make you think of lunchtime, you can imagine I was not very happy with the options. The food varied every day but not by much. For example, lunch usually offered pizza, pasta, boneless wings with different sauces on it every day, salads and burgers. For me personally, I believed that these kinds of food did not make me feel satisfied in the middle of the day. Don't get me wrong, it was pretty good but I was never satisfied with the nutrition information that was associated with it, mainly because I didn't know the exact ingredients. However, after exploring a little more into the dining hall, I found that there was actually a sandwich station where they have what look like fresh meats and condiments. After this discovery, I made my lunch a sandwich with turkey, salami (sometimes), lettuce and mayonnaise on a kaiser roll...
