Your Eating Habits

<p>Out of curiosity, what does your daily meal plan look like? Here is mine (it varies day to day, but this is how one day might be):</p>

<p>Breakfast: Bowl of oats with maple syrup, milk, and a banana mixed in
Snack: Some sort of nut bar
Lunch: Sandwich (maybe grilled cheese) and yogurt
Snack: Mixed veggies or fruit, maybe a smoothie of sorts if I'm home
Dinner: Salad, mac and cheese or pasta (sometimes fish), baked yam, steamed veggies, cobbler/ice cream for dessert
Snack: Shake</p>

<p>I don't live on campus, so I prepare all of my food. I realize that people who live in the dorms in stuff can't do that. I'm curious to see what other college students eat. I lived in the dorms for a year, but I never really ate in the cafeteria...only a handful of times. The food wasn't good obviously.</p>

<p>Let's see, today.....</p>

<p>Breakfast: Trader Joe's Oats & Flax with a dash of cinnamon and a glass of simply orange.
Snack/Drink/Treat: 1 cup of hot chocolate
Dinner: I made baked chicken, steamed green beans and brown basmati rice.
Dessert: 1 piece of mango mochi</p>

<p>...and I usually drink Poland Springs water the majority of the day.</p>

<p>I hated the dining hall food at my school. It never tasted fresh and the serving sizes they gave were entirely too large for a normal person. The sauce they serve never actually tasted like sauce. The pasta was always over cooked and the salad bar always seemed stale.</p>

<p>binge whenever i’m in a dining hall</p>

<p>lets see if its in cafe:
breakfast: 2 pieces of whie toast buttered up and chocolate milk(altho last couple days milk was bad so hot cocoa)
lunch/brunch= i love the chicken terryaki on campus i have chicken broccoli and onions with terriaki its by far the best food on campus…i sometimes have a sanwich + salad
dinner= 75% of the time pasta lol or some type of meat</p>

<p>at home it depends what i want or what time i wake up</p>

<p>we have custom made stir fry station b/c everyone on campus including the president of school eats lunch in this cafe its a small school less then 2000 undergrad so they make lunch special
everything else is bad especialy breakfast nobodies up</p>

<p>Breakfast: Either slept through or too much of a hurry. Maybe an apple.
Lunch: On campus generally, which is good because we have amazing on campus food. Could be anything really, from pasta to pizza to salad to mexican etc etc.
Dinner: About 50/50 on/off campus. At home I’ll cook chicken or pasta usually. On campus it’s the same menu as lunch.</p>

<p>I also eat apples as snacks throughout the day. I eat a lot of apples.</p>

<p>breakfast: some waffles or cereal, if I have time.
snacks: usually a 100 calorie pack stuffed in my back before I leave for class. If I don’t have anything at home to bring with me, I’ll buy a croissant or something on campus (I’m like obsessed with the almond croissants at au bon pain). if I’m at home, I might wheat thins and peanut butter or something like that
lunch: usually a sandwich made at home, like turkey/cheese
dinner: lately it’s been lean cuisines, but I have bought dinner out all this weekend. Friday it was grilled chicken strips, mashed potatoes, corn and sweet tea at a place called Veggies 2 Go (it’s like southern style food), Saturday night it was Wendy’s nuggets and a frosty, tonight it was cajun chicken pasta and breadsticks from an Italian place. I don’t eat out during the week much though.</p>

<p>We don’t really have a dining hall, we just have a bunch of different places to eat in our student center and surrounding area. Like, in the student center there is au bon pain, chik-fil-a, a pasta/pizza place, a burger place, starbucks, and a cafeteria-like place. Over in the bottom floor of one of the dorms is a deli and Einstein bros bagels. </p>

<p>I drink alot of water (I have a brita pitcher) but I also love Dr Pepper! And I usually drink juice in the morning with breakfast.</p>

<p>On average this is me:</p>

<p>Breakfast: Burrito (meat, veggies) and a yogurt
Snack: Oranges, carrots and Apples
Lunch: A Burrito (meat and veggies) with Chips
Snack: More Oranges, carrots, Apples, Mandarins
Dinner: Mostly a mix of some sort of salad, rice, beans, and combined with meat. Sometimes home-made burgers
Snack: Tacos
Before Sleeping: Cereal with a muffin</p>

<p>I’m a swimmer by the way</p>

<p>Breakfast: Cereal, Fruit
Snack: none
Lunch: Random stuff from campus food court (preferred: curry lamb w/ rice)
Snack: none
Dinner: Stuff parents make (usually rice + Chinese food)
Snack: Milk + Ice Cream, Chocolate</p>

<p>Breakfast: eggs, 2 pancakes, nonfat milk.
Lunch: A turkey, tomato, lettuce, and cheese wrap or a salad, plus water.
Dinner: Whatever miscellaneous food items they have (which sometimes means stir-fry, other times chicken and rice, or if the main entree is particularly inedible, hamburger and french fries, though I try to stay away from these), and either water or lemonade.</p>

<p>I’d like to eat more fruit, but the fruit they have here is honestly disgusting. All either underripe or overripe to the point of being rotten.</p>

<p>I drink arizona diet green tea like crazy.</p>

<p>I eat a ton for breakfast at the dining hall because its cheaper than lunch/dinner. And then just the school’s coffee for the rest of the day. It saves me a lot of money.</p>

<p>Most of the time I don’t eat breakfast because I don’t have time, but I do eat a lot. Which is why my meal card is so low, and why I have to cut back now. I think things do cost a little too much sometimes.</p>

<p>Before I used to get like ten bottles of Diet Coke/lattes on my meal plan, and I seriously used $100.00 in like a week. Now I just get plain coffee because it is 60 cents with my meal card. Buffet breakfast is like $3.00 I think, and I usually eat a whole lot of whole-wheat french toast, eggbeaters, like two yogurt smoothies and a ton of fruit and yogurt.</p>

<p>I usually wind up skipping breakfast and/or lunch some days. I try to avoid snacking unless I’m really hungry. Dinner is really the only time when I’m likely to eat something.</p>

<p>Coming from a medical kid</p>

<p>Eating 6-8 small portion meals a day (even with snacks)</p>

<p>is a lot better for your metabolism than eating 2-4 BIG portion foods</p>

<p>Remember guys, eating often and little is better than a lot and less often</p>

<p>Also, watch your calorie intake and do EXERCISE!</p>

<p>Breakfast: Nothing
Lunch: If I’m eating at the student center, chinese, einstein or southern style food. If not, chinese or vietnamese from one of the places on campus.
Dinner: Either student center options or Wendy’s, wings or something from the pizza place on campus</p>

<p>Dudes</p>

<p>breakfast is the most important meal of the day</p>

<p>how can people live without it?</p>

<p>I dont have time (well, I value more sleep…), and I dont care for breakfast.</p>

<p>Wow, this really varies… though usually for
Breakfast: Waffels ( Main)
Lunch ( just speaking of a school day): Trial Mix, or Granola bar ( nature valley name brand)</p>

<p>Junior in high school</p>

<p>Either:
I don’t eat anything except for a chewy granola bar until 3pm. Then I run for 2 hours and eat a couple of hours later because running seems to suppress my appetite. At around 7/8, I eat whatever (but only a small amount because I’m not that hungry). </p>

<p>or:
I just eat whatever whenever (when I’m not training) 5-8 times a day </p>

<p>I’m aware this is unhealthy…</p>
