Many students gain weight for the primary reason that they are eating more than they ate at home.
Study cravings become a routine part of daily life, which may also play a part in weight increase. Eating for socialization increases, therefore adding additional pounds. Many students tend to not eat every meal because they overslept or had class, but then eat large amounts at one time, which can add up. And last, but not least the wonderful tasting and wide variety of foods at each dining hall, tends to lure healthy eaters in the wrong direction. IN YOUR ROOM Keep low fat snacks on hand for those late night munchies.
