Eating healthy even in a cafeteria


I'm really interested in health and nutrition & I feel that it should be of the utmost importance in everyday life. While flipping through the channels one day I discovered Dr. Oz's daughter, Daphne Oz. She wrote a book titles The Dorm Room Diet. This inspired me since I'm about to go to college, so maybe it will inspire you as well! Here are a few suggestions from the piece...

Here’s what you need to know about cafeteria eating.

Your friends:

➤ Fresh fruits

➤ Fresh veggies

➤ Whole grain cereals (Total, All-Bran, Raisin Bran,
Cheerios) and breads

➤ Low-fat cheese and milk

➤ Eggs (not fried)

➤ Grilled, baked, broiled, stir-fried, pan-seared
anything

➤ Low-sugar, low-calorie items


Your foes:

➤ Stewed or jellied fruits (which have tons of sugar)

➤ Sugary cereals

➤ High-sugar fruit and soda drinks

➤ Full-fat cheese, milk

➤ Fried anything

➤ Cheesy, creamy sauces
