<p>I'm sure my weight will change drastically in college... which direction will depend on where I go. A lot of places don't have much vegan food, so I'll end up losing a lot of weight, but if they actually have a lo of different choices than I could easily gain a LOT.</p>
<p>It isn't so much exercise as it is what you eat. For example, each pizza slice has about 500 calories. That's almost a quarter of your daily calorie requirements from ONE slice of pizza (and I'm sure a lot of guys can quickly down 4~5 slices). Same with soft drinks - the number of calories quickly adds up.</p>
<p>When you go to all-you-can-eat college retaurants, make sure you fill your plates with lots of vegies. If you don't like them, learn to like them (I'm learning to like Diet Coke over the summer coz otherwise I know I will just have Coke all the time).</p>
<p>In short:
- Avoid Pizzas
- Eat lots of vegies
- Don't put lots of sauce on your vegetables (a tablespoon of mayo is 100 calories)
- Learn to like Diet-version of Sodas.
- Get Baked **** for your cravings (a packet of baked Lays is around 120 calories and only 7~8% of your Daily Recommended Carbohydrates)</p>

Fortunately, I can eat whatever I want, as much as I want, and not gain a pound!

i hate you</p>
<p>Better yet, don't drink sodas AT ALL (I only have about one a week).</p>
<p>actually loosing weight really is 50% food 50% exercise. It is really really important to exercise. you'll thank yourself later. </p>
<p>and drink a lot of water.</p>
<p>A pizza slice is not 500 calories. Trust me - I've been trying to gain weight for quite a bit of time now. At some periods of time, I eat two entire pizzas(Domino/PizzaHut Larges) for brunch/lunch. (Nor is a tablespoon of Mayo - 100 calories.) </p>
<p>If losing weight is in your interest, ignore soda all together. I've been off of it for nearly two years; at this point you will get absolutely no cravings for it whatsoever. </p>
<p>If you intend to lift or exercise, keep in mind, it's not the exercise that will burn the most calories. Rather, the muscle built will increase your metabolic rate at which your daily expenditures will burn more calories.</p>
<p>" If you don't like them, learn to like them ">(I'm learning to like Diet Coke over the summer coz otherwise I know I will just have Coke all the time).<"</p>
<p>Shiit dude, if your that intense into your "program"...lol. I really dont think that will make a difference but to each his own. I heard diet sodas are not good for you so I dont drink them. As for me, Somebodynew and I have the same "problem." I'm fine with that; I get to eat what I want and not worry about weight. I did manage to add 10 pounds last year by eating a LOT and working out, but the hell with that. Way to much eating..</p>
<p>A slice of pizza is like 300 calories</p>

<p>Yeah, I managed to put on 5 pounds last August before senior year after a trip to Europe. I ate so much when I returned (food money was tight during my trip) and preseason for XC was intense...so I got up to 140. I've been as high as 146 and as low as 136 this summer.</p>
<p>This is the perfect time to say that the Universit of Georgia has the #1 ranked food services program in the country! Well, actually they are ranked in the top 1% of about 2,000 colleges so they're either ranked #1 or #2.</p>
<p>where do you get these rankings</p>
<p>I lost about 8 pounds my first semester,but going home during winter break killed me. I gained about 23 lbs. in the spring. Stay away from the dining hall; I ate there about 90% of the time and blame them.</p>
<p>it was basically freshman 20-30 for me.</p>

Well when I can easily drink 2+ bottles of soda a day if they are lying around...

Are you sure? Well I guess it varies by slice size (I am talking about those 16 inch cheese pizza slices :P)</p>
<p>I meant a normal sized slice, not an extremely large slice. Eating super-sized pizza is obviously unwise for those of us would not like to be fat.</p>
<p>If you're going to drink, drink light beer!</p>
<p>Basically, if you're going to gain weight you're most likely to do it your first semester when stress is sky-high, you're trying to adjust, and you're making new friends over Domino's.</p>
<p>Intramural sports, jog, go to the gym, don't go too crazy with the beer and with the midnight snacking (drunk or sober)</p>
<p>If you go to uga.edu/foodserivces it talks all about all the awards thy've won. I'll post a few of the stats they list in they're brochure: 63 National Awards in total...UGA's special event "Tango Argentina " was voted Food Management's Magazine's Best Onesite Concept Award...in 2002 the Department was awarded operator the Year Silver Plate Award by the International Food Manufacturer's Assocation. Apparently this is like the best award ever in food services...Ivy Award representing the top insitituitional food service operator in the nation..won Best Menu Design by National Restaurant Association...etc...</p>
<p>you gained 23 lbs over winter break? wow impressive</p>
<p>Btw, a slice of cheese pizza from pizza hut is about 270 calories.</p>
<p>And diet soda isn't the greatest... now they're saying the substitution of aspartame for real sugar in diet sodas makes you crave sugar so you end up eating more anyway.</p>
<p>Alot of people gain weight from stress, not eating, so that can be difficult to prevent</p>
<p>As a 6', 140lbs male, I look forward to the freshman 15.</p>
