Eating Habits : A Healthy Lifestyle For A Young, College Girl

"I work out five days a week in the gym lifting weight & doing cardio. I watch what I eat, but I binge drink pretty much every weekend. Is the drinking that bad, or am I doing enough "good stuff" to offset the drinking?"

My current eating habits are not very good. I am well aware of this, and my excuse is that I am a father of two that works full time, attends online college part time, has a dad that is very medically involved and children that are in sports, and I have recently joined a gym that I try to attend three nights a week. My life is very rushed and busy all the time.

Recently I have been motivated by my friend Adrian’s life changing decision of putting behind his desire of just letting go and being determined to live a healthy life. I have always had an active life and enjoy playing sports but figured that it wouldn’t be enough and I am currently on a diet which has cut down on my calorie and sugar level intake. Nowadays I take the time to read nutrition labels and measure portion sizes which make a great difference. Every now and then I have a break and consume foods that are not healthy but I now I am doing better now. It is a constant struggle to not get tempted into a delicious looking pizza or some perfectly rounded donuts but I stay motivated to achieve my

Let face it, everybody wishes they could be healthier. Whether it by exercising more, making better decisions about what we eat, or a combination of both. There are many ways for a college student to stay healthy. However, what I lack is the control needed in keeping up with these life changing habits.

These 2 days are representative of my usual dietary patterns because I tend to consume the same things everyday. This is mostly because I eat at the dining halls, which usually serves the same foods like hamburgers and pizza. Furthermore, I always consume rice because it has been the main staple in my meals ever since I was a child. I also purchase an afternoon snack everyday from the campus eatery, which usually consists of yogurt, a fruit, or some form of crackers and chips.

Physical health is one of my lowest health components. Drugs and alcohol is something I very much avoid, considering my age. I don't worry about that. But my health with food is a bit of a problem. I usually eat about two times a day, in the morning and when I come home from school. Sometimes I eat three times a day, it depends. But what I eat isn't really healthy. For example, in the morning I eat cereal or a sandwich. That food is supposed to last me until 3:00 pm. Then I come home from school and eat foods like rice with chicken or enchiladas. After that, I usually don't eat anything else. Sometimes food isn't ready yet so I'll wait until 6:00 pm to eat. I also tend to eat a lot of sweets and cookies. With all that food, I'm supposed to

Keeping a constant healthy nutrition during college is hard because I do not have time to worry about my food. I try my best to choose wisely, what I consume daily. Eating breakfast is very important to me because without it I will not have that morning boost. Making sure I consume my daily dose of water, I carry a bottle of water with me every day. Going to the gym and exercising is a habit that kept me stress less. Making sure that I play my favorite sport during the weekend, I keep my daily nutrition healthy. Because of the schedule between my school and work, I keep my nutrition fast and convenient.

I'm not practice diet, ones i try to practice one diet, but it just latered one week

The problem that I want to try to affect is compulsive eating disorder among college students. According to the 2013 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5), compulsive eating disorder or binge eating disorder is recurrently eating significantly more food in a short period of time than most people would eat under similar circumstances. As a college student, I have observed many compulsive eating behaviors among my peers as their coping mechanisms for academic stress, physique anxiety, social pressure and negative emotions.

I know that it is possible to eat healthy in college, but the biggest challenge I face is trying to resist the temptation of bad foods. The article 10 Easy Ways to Eat Healthy in College provides me with some much needed advice on how I can resist the enticement of unhealthy foods. I already stock up on healthy foods like high-fiber cereal, sugar free protein bars, and greek yogurt and I will sometimes take my fair share of fruit from the dining commons. I also tend to be closed minded when it comes to trying new foods, but I think experimenting with food and seeing how they make me feel is a good strategy to use. When I go into the dining halls I feel like I am limited to what I am able to eat because I am a pescetarian. Fortunately, the dining

This article gives a basic definition of bulimia, which states that it is the act of binge eating and then purging in a n effort to prevent weight gain. It also says that the physiological thinking behind this disorder has yet to be discovered. Over al the article and its context seem to be reliable it often refers to research and experiments that have been

Food -- it is a necessity. There is not one person who does not think about it on a daily basis. For a college student, the quality of food available is not always to the highest of standards. Many students can not afford to buy expensive food or eat out on a regular basis. Many times their only option left is to eat from their school’s dining halls.

How does healthy eating affect your life? Many people really pay attention to the food they put in their bodies, until we get sick and need medical attention. I know that many of us love to eat fast food, but it catches up with us in the long run. While eating healthy would stop you from getting sick, and lower the cost of health care, healthy eating can enrich your body and prevent you from getting high doctor bills.

Staying healthy and eating right is a lifestyle that many people should consider. A juicy hamburger from McDonalds dripping with special sauce topped with cheese is not exactly considered a healthy meal. Our society today is busy and on the go at all times. It is so much easier to stop and get fast food and then continue on. However, we should stop and think; is it really worth it to not eat right and exercise?

The current recommended guidelines for eating healthy for a nineteen-year-old female with moderate activity levels are to consume between 1900 and 2100 calories every day. It is also better to minimize fried and sugary foods, just like for any other age group. This can help avoid health problems. According to the MyFitnessPal app for someone of my same age, condition, and gender, it is recommended that a person consumes around one-hundred grams of protein, two hundred and fifty grams of carbohydrates, twenty-five grams of fiber, seventy-five grams of sugar or less, sixty-five grams of fat or less, three hundred milligrams of cholesterol or less, 2300 milligrams of sodium or less, and various amounts of different vitamins and minerals.
