Question 14

List three strategies college students may use to achieve healthy eating while dining on campus.

Accepted Answer

College students can face various challenges when trying to maintain a healthy diet, especially when dining on campus. However, there are several strategies they can use to ensure they are eating healthily:

1. **Plan Ahead and Make Informed Choices**: Many college dining halls provide menus and nutritional information online or on-site. Students can use this information to plan their meals ahead of time, choosing options that are balanced and nutritious. By knowing what will be available, students can make informed decisions about what to eat, avoiding less healthy impulse choices.

2. **Balance Your Plate**: A good strategy for healthy eating is to follow the "MyPlate" guidelines set by the USDA. This involves filling half the plate with fruits and vegetables, a quarter with lean proteins (such as chicken, fish, beans, or tofu), and the remaining quarter with whole grains (like brown rice or whole wheat pasta). This balance ensures a variety of nutrients, including fiber, vitamins, and minerals, which are essential for good health.

3. **Practice Portion Control**: Dining halls often offer buffet-style meals, which can lead to overeating. To combat this, students can use smaller plates, avoid going back for seconds, and listen to their hunger cues to avoid eating more than necessary. Additionally, they can start with a salad or vegetables to help fill up on lower-calorie foods first, which can prevent overindulgence in higher-calorie items later on.

By implementing these strategies, college students can navigate campus dining services in a way that supports their health and well-being. It's also important to stay hydrated with water instead of sugary drinks and to be mindful of the consumption of high-calorie, low-nutrient foods like desserts and fried snacks.
