Question
Hi Laura -

I'm 19 years old, and halfway through my second year at college. I'm 5'3 and 220 lbs. I live in the dorms and as far as food options go, I'm very limited. We can't cook our own food except in a microwave, fridge and freezer space is limited, and on-campus dining facilities are chock-full of unhealthy options. What can I do to start eating better? I know that people usually gain the 'freshman fifteen' when coming to college, but mine has turned into thirty. Help!

Answer
Dear Amanda, You will have to watch your intake of breads, sugars, potatoes, bagels, rice, sub sandwiches, pizza, and other starchy foods. Those are the foods that put on weight. If you can get a book on calorie counting or go online, try to figure your daily caloric intake. Try to eat lean meats, chicken, fish, low fat dairy, whole grain breads, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats like those found in salad oil. Try to eat 1500 calories per day. You probably are already walking daily, the more the better. Hope that helps, Laura Kraemer,Slimkids.com
