<p>First off I'll tell you guys about myself: I am a senior in high school in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I plan on attending the College of Charleston this upcoming fall. I attend an "academy" school where I study a specific major. In my case my major is Pre-Medicine and I have a "mastery" or otherwise known as a big project focusing on one topic. </p>
<p>My topic is the nutritional habits of college students and what can be done to change these habits. </p>
<p>I was going to make a poll for everyone to put their answers but I am new to this site and I have no idea if i can even make a poll. Any help would be greatly appreciated</p>

<p>You could ask everyone to write out all of what they ate today. For instance, so far I’ve had:</p>
<p>Breakfast - Powerade
Lunch - Turkey burger and fries, and an ice cream cone
For Dinner I’ll probably have a smoothie and a protein bar</p>
<p>Very bad nutrition, I know!</p>
<p>Breakfast–Off-brand lucky charms (always cereal for breakfast), milk, orange juice</p>
<p>Lunch–banana, peanut butter and jelly sandwich, yogurt, some strawberries, maybe something else (granola bar, fruit, nuts, fruit snacks). (sandwich and fruit and a few things of extra stuff almost every day)</p>
<p>Dinner–going to eat some free Qdoba</p>
<p>And a bit of candy/raisins/nuts/honey for snack</p>
<p>I usually have some spaghetti and meatballs or chicken and a salad for dinner. And milk. Sometimes a sub, sometimes random other food, sometimes a dessert</p>
<p>Counting eating out and free food at meetings, I eat dinner outside of the dining hall once or twice a week, usually the least healthy meals of the week (pizza)</p>
<p>Breakfast - rarely eat breakfast. Either wake up at 7:00, roll around a little bit, then rush off to my 8 AM class or don’t wake up until 11 am … in which case I have lunch.</p>
<p>Lunch - banana, apple, a cucumber, trail mix, today
Usually a premade sandwich from the market and some fruit salad
Or a regular full-sized salad.
and coffee or high-caffeine tea. ^^;</p>
<p>Dinner - probably grab a premade sandwich or salad from the market or soup or microwave meals.</p>
<p>I have pretty irregular eating habits. I know my friends just tend to grab fries and a hamburger or a slice of pizza, etc. Whatever it is, it’s always something that can be quickly scarfed down on the go. Fruits & veggies are expensive (and so is meat). Lots of cereal, granola bars, etc.</p>
<p>I cook over weekends, but don’t regularly have time during the week. I know this isn’t nutrition, but I also work out an 1-1.5 hours a day. </p>
<p>Today’s food:
Breakfast: pb&j w/blueberry yogurt
Lunch: 1 slice pizza, wild rice, carrots, green beans, & 3 sugar cookies
Dinner: Falafel sandwich & Dr. Pepper</p>
<p>also copious amounts of water throughout the day.</p>
<p>Ugh, just looking back at this makes me feel terrible.</p>
<p>Breakfast
16 oz of Floridian Orange Juice
2 Packets of Oatmeal with Brown Sugar in Milk
Whey Protein Shake in Milk
Wheat Bread
Multivitamin </p>
<p>Lunch
Double Turkey Burger on Wheat Bread
6 oz of spaghetti
24 oz of Concord Grape Juice </p>
<p>Dinner
Baked Red Snapper or Seared Albacore Tuna Medium Well
Yellow Rice
Shrimp
Multivitamin </p>
<p>Snacks During the Day:
Salty foods, a box of pizza, a bag of candy, Vanilla coke, or something with complex carbs</p>
<p>Post-workout
120 grams of carbs, creatine, whey protein shake in milk</p>
<p>Never accept a drink or food from someone you don’t know, and take your drink with you when you are at a buffet. It is too easy for a rival or a random psychotic to try to poison your drink. </p>
<p>I once knew a great singer, the competition put something in her drink to make her voice raspy before a big event. </p>
<p>When in doubt, get a sample of the drink to your team of private investigators for analysis at the lab.</p>
