Cut down cm alcohol. Just because alcohol is fat free doesn 't mean its calorie free. Alcohol is loaded with calories. Dont keep junk food in your dorm room - it will just be a temptation to eat it! Look around and be inventive. The healthy options are there but they may be hiding behind the cheese fries and the ice cream machine. Most cafeterias have healthy options that are available everyday, such as a salad bar or a sandwich station. Keep moving! It doesn't matter ifyou walk, jog, take aerobics, weight train, take a gym class, or play inframural sports staying active will burn calories. Lounginginyour dorm watching TV orsittingaround studying all day will put on the pounds, simply because you re taking in more calories than youre burning off.
