As the semester is kicking into gear, it's getting harder to maintain healthy eating habits not only with regards to what foods you are choosing but what times and what quantities of foods you are choosing. This semester I've started breaking up my eating into smaller, more frequent meals in order to stay healthy and never go hungry during long classes. Here's how you can do the same!
1. Breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, as I'm sure you've heard many times, so eating a larger meal for breakfast is a good idea. I usually pick a protein-heavy meal with some carbs as well to get my day going.
2. Snacks
Either pack snacks in your room or get some snacks from the cafeteria and take them with you for your classes. I usually eat snacks when I have two classes back-to-back and then before a workout.
3. Lunch
I find that during school days I don't have time for lunch because of my schedule, so you can either pre-make yourself something or eat more protein-rich snacks throughout the day.
4. Dinner
It's important to eat a big dinner as well because then you won't be as tempted for late-night snacking and you can replenish the energy you lost throughout the day.
5. Late-night snacks
Although it's best to avoid these, it's always hard to resist so I suggest eating healthier options as it gets later. If you are craving sugar, sometimes just having one piece of candy with your healthy snack can end that craving!
