Diet Tips

Late night eating causes significant weight gain for college students. Whether you're having a study session or drinking at a frat party, eating out late is common. Typically, late night restaurant menus consist of hamburgers, greasy breakfast foods, and wings. These types of foods will decrease any chances of walking the campus with six pack abdominals. If you must eat late, choose healthier foods.
A cheeseburger and an order of fries contain a day's worth of fat. For example, a McDonald's Quarter Pounder with Cheese and a small order of French Fries contain a whopping 740 calories including 37 grams of fat. Eating foods with such calorie counts even a couple of nights a week will guarantee you a flabby midsection.
If you must eat out, make wise decisions by choosing from the low-fat menu. Instead of a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and fries, order a grilled snack wrap and a salad. The total calories and grams of fat are reduced significantly. You should Google the nutritional facts of your favorite restaurants to help you make better choices.
The best way to eat healthy late at night is not to eat out. Stock your refrigerator with sandwich meat, fruits, water and other healthy items. Purchase and bake fish or chicken wings before you start your night. A tasty, frozen California Pizza Kitchen BBQ Recipe Chicken only has 9 grams of fat and 290 calories. If you shop wisely, you can have a tasty meal waiting for you when you get home.
Eating out late is not wise especially if you are consuming junk food. Fattening foods combined with alcohol will ensure you keep that tire around your belly. A well-stocked fridge and wise choices will save calories and money.

If you are a college student currently living in a dorm room there are some limitations you must overcome. Dispite the limited room, cooking options, and storage space you still can diet properly. The key is stocking your mini-fridge with low fat snacks. It is also important to choose the correct meals whether you are eating in the cafateria or in an off-campus resturant.
If you stay in a dorm room with only room for a small fridge, microwave and no stove:
Load your mini-fridge with
-Sandwich meat You may get the cheaper meat already packaged or have it cut at the deli. Sandwiches are low in fat, fast to make and will save money.
-Fruit Any type of fruit should be able to fit into your fridge in your dorm room. These items make great snacks and are very healthy,
-Peanuts and chek mix are also good snacks to keep in between meals.
-Rotissery Chickens- You can get them at public or wal-mart already cooked and you can warm it up in the microwave if nessassary.
-Cereal –This is an easy one that most people should have if you like milk.
-Water- Keep plenty of bottle water and put a few at a time in the fridge to cool off.
