Late Night Eating
Late night study sessions can be draining both mentally and physically. Often all we want to do is eat big, filling meals and then pass out. It can be hard to find a healthy option late at night on campus.
The best option is a homemade meal, but let’s be honest, the last thing you want to do after a long night is cook. Chicken, eaten like a candy bar, is quick, satisfying, and very healthy. When making chicken, it’s best to make as much as possible that way it can be stored in tin foil or plastic bags. If you buy breasts, it’s best to cut them in half long ways to make it juicer. Thighs are good to go.
Avoid buying pre-seasoned chicken or meats in general; they often contain high amounts of sodium and sugar. Seasoning your own food allows for you to control all variables and to know exactly what you’re eating.
Leftovers can be your best friend, but if you’re like me, leftovers are gone once there’s more room on the plate. The best option on campus is The Wedge: they have a few sandwiches that have really good ingredients. They are higher in calories, but the food it’s coming from is good.
Avoid pizza, pasta bowls, and sandwiches with thick sauces. Sauce is often high in calories and does not provide much nutritional value. Getting a sandwich without sauce or little sauce is healthy, filling and can be purchased on dining or as a transfer.
