Hey YouTube ,it's Mary welcome back to my
channel! Today I'm going to be doing a
requested video. This videos is all about
how to eat healthy in college or
basically how to avoid the "freshman 15"
everyone is dreading. So if you're new to
my channel, I literally just graduated
from university I want to say two weeks
ago! So I have a lot to share about
College! If you are a first year or you're
going to be a freshman, I have a whole
College playlist I already started it so
I will leave it in a card up (above) here so you
can check that out check out.
So let's get into this first off
I want to say know your body know your
needs before you go and try to do
everything that I'm telling you and
something happens and you're like oh
it's Mary's fault! No listen to your body
and know what you need. I don't want to
say that I'm a health freak or that like
I eat completely clean because
trust me, I don't but I managed to
somewhat keep my figure throughout the
throughout the past four years of
college. Basically because of these
things: Tip number one is finding balance!
So by that I mean like if you're going
to eat unhealthy, make sure you eat
something that's helping you pass that
food through your system so it's not
staying in your gut. For example, if you're
going to get a cheeseburger and french
fries, have a salad or have some greens ALSO!
Have something with fiber! Sometimes I'll
go for yogurt and bran and that will
help me kind of like pass along whatever
I've eaten and make sure that it's cleaning
of my system because the last thing you
want is food just in your gut. That is
the most uncomfortable feeling and it's
just not healthy. Tip number two: watch
your portions! So by this I mean watch
how much you eat because I know the way
the Rutgers dining halls are set up its
all-you-can-eat you swipe and you can
eat as much as you want there. Thi does not
mean literally eat everything. I know
I've been there and I still kind of did
this more recently where I wanted to
have a little bit of everything and I
guess there's nothing
wrong with that as long as you're not
taking a huge helping of everything.
But especially if you're not going to finish
it, like why are you wasting the food? You
know so watch your portions.
Eat as much as you know you can eat, as long
as you're not overeating you know. Like I
said everybody's body is
different just watch your
portions and that's also like throughout
the day too. I think I'm going to get
into that later on.
Okay so tip number three is replacing
your heavy carbs like pasta rice for
greens and vegetables I know this is not
going to sound appetizing to everybody
but trust me when your body starts
getting used to it it's like nothing for
example I love pasta but I know I can't
eat that every day even if it's whole
wheat whole grain I can't eat that
every day so if I had pasta yesterday I
will have greens or greens I will have
green beans or cauliflower broccoli and
let's say I already want something saucy
so I'll put the sauce on top of that
vegetable and put some salt on it and
it's like as long as I'm full that's all
it really matters and I'll still have
the protein that I wanted along with
the pasta you know so kind of just
learning to sub certain vegetables for
certain carbs because I don't know I
feel like especially for me the way I
eat I eat maybe one big meal a day and
sometimes I don't want that big meal to
be like super super calorie ridden so
I'll just sub it with a green or
vegetable. Tip number four is listen to
your body so especially with a new
schedule but it's nothing like high
school you're gonna need to really listen to
your body and feed it when it needs to
be fed especially you know if you have
an 8 am class and you don't normally eat
breakfast you're going to need your
brain to be working be able to function
to get through the day so you want to
listen to your body and bring snacks if
you need to if you don't have time to go
to the dining hall bring snacks
definitely I know some teachers some of
my professors don't care
if you eat but make sure it's also okay
with your professor. Whatever needs to be done
and make sure that you're like awake and
alive because you don't want to pass out
one day because you skip breakfast
also one really really really really
crucial thing it's going to sound like
crazy with everyone wants to sing with
their friends freshman year no one wants
to sit in the dining hall
if that means that you're skipping meals
that's crazy
make sure you eat, don't wait for other
people to eat and as a freshman you'll
most likely have like a ALOT of meal
swipes or the highest meal plan anyway
so you can always go to a dining hall
and eat with your friends but make sure
you're not starving yourself because you
want to eat with your friends that's
personally (to me) it's not a good reason to be
starving because people flake on you and
you don't want to be waiting the whole
day to eat you know your one meal and
your friends flake on you and you don't
want to sit the dining hall by yourself
nah I'm one of those people who sit in the
dining hall by themselves and I'm
completely fine I know everyone's not like
that but I'm saying if you don't want to
eat in the dining hall by yourself
see if you can grab something
at a cafe or if there's
like food places and your Student Center
try to grab something there and eat
while you're waiting for your friends so
you're not like you know starving at the
point of like fainting you know so
listen to your body and feed it when it
needs to be fed because your brain needs
to be working like you're still
adjusting to the schedule yes but um
don't starve yourself it's not worth it
trust me
number five stay away as much as you can
from sodas and juices I know everybody
except French people really love their
soda and that's gonna be impossible but
I mean I know a lot of schools are
trying to like put in more healthier
options you have free reign over your
life in college basically you could eat
whatever you want you're responsible for
yourself so me I took the initiative I
was you know before I even got to
college I was working on cutting out
soda because I so love soda but um and
juice and all that so to cut the amount
of sugar I'm taking in I have juice very
rarely do I have juice but if I have
juice I'll dilute it so that I at least
have a little bit of the taste of the
sugar but it's mostly water that I'm
drinking this is how I like my juices
how I'm used to it so that's just how I
drink it and that's just a healthy habit
I think to start when you're in college
number six watch out for late night
snacking this is gonna this is what I
think it's most people especially
because I know what record
first takeout was open until 12 a.m.
takeout was usually like the most
unhealthy food and it's like fried and
they serve it until like really late so
I'd say like you've been studying all
night and you rush to take out at like
12:00 a.m. and you're eating until they
a.m. so watch your portions then what
you're eating maybe don't eat the entire
meal I know it sounds a little gross
sometimes to be hearing up food the next
day well I think about all that stuff
that's going into your body and if
especially we're going to sleep right
after if you're eating later and you're
not letting like your body kind of like
use the energy it's just being stored in
your body so be mindful of how late
you're eating and also along with that
be mindful of if you start picking up
stress eating I know like especially
being a first-year it's going to be hard
adjusting to a lot of different things
but if you're going to stress eat make
sure you surround yourself in good food
like fruits and you know granola and all
that kind of stuff so that at least
you're stress-eating you're eating
healthy things and not like chips and
soda and candy candies my weakness you
guys candy is my weakness but if you're
going to stress eat make sure you're
surrounding yourself and you're allowing
yourself to eat healthy things if you
can my digestive system was cleaning
itself out so you know drinking lots of
water eating veggies eating fruit eating
fibrous fibrous um veggies and fruits
and making sure I'm eating bran if I'm
not eating those veggies and fruits
here's a truth I don't always work out
because I don't have time for it diet
plays a huge factor in to how you look
how you feel high performers of student
this last tip every school is different
some schools don't let you take food
I've a dining hall but Rutgers lets you
take I think it's like two or three
fruits so if that's what you need to get
you get you through the next hump of the
day definitely that's what I do I'll
take it two bananas or you know I
usually eat bananas I only like apples
like that I'll take a banana and I'll
make sure that I have that so you know
maybe
whay my classes were this past semester
I literally had classes from 12 to 3 and
then 3:30 to 6:00 and so look I wouldn't
really have time to eat lunch so I'd
have like fruit I bring my breakfast the
class of me I'd have fruit to get me
through like the middle half of the day
and then if I had time to get food
before my later class I would get food
so that like you know I have something
in my system because when you have a
jam-packed schedule and you're trying to
get your classes the last thing you want
is to be like hungry you know because
you're gonna be cranky and it's just not
going to be a good luck I hope these
tips are helpful to you I know that it's
not always easy to adjust to a new
environment and it's stressful but don't
let that be the reason why you pick up
bad habits College is where you
literally start to realize that you're
responsible for yourself on what you put
in your body yeah they're going to be
unhealthy foods around you but it's all
about self-control and you need to learn
kind of just to build those habits now
you start blowing my self-control now
you know you're definitely going to be
able to carry that on into your young
adulthood so those are my tips on how to
eat healthy in college basically how to
avoid the freshman 15 I hope this video
