2) Late Night Social Eating Sessions These twilight bonding gatherings with dorm mates unite freshmen in their newfound independence from curfews. This freedom usually brings along other uninvited guests—fatty foods. If you would prefer to just go to sleep than consume unbuttered popcorn and baked potato chips, then you might want to work on portion control. Limit yourself to three chicken wings or one slice of pizza per night, because some of the best college memories are forged during these after-hour conversations
3) Study BingesThe ugly stepsister of the late night gorging orgy is the all-nighter cramming congregation. Incidentally, these seem to occur frequently during freshman year, largely due to another innate collegiate trait—procrastination.
These are the moments, though, when men need to push their masculinity aside and really think about the number of calories they are consuming while sitting at a desk for twelve hours. If it is simple fuel you're after, a granola bar rather than a sleeve of Reeses' peanut butter cups provides a healthy substitution.
Certain fruits, such as bananas, are high in vitamins and potassium and have enough sugar to replace a 280-calorie pack of Skittles. Also, beware of ultra-sugary espresso-based drinks like mochaccinos and caramel lattes which often contain up to 300 calories.
In the caffeine arena, you can actually disguise your desire to still see your toes the next day with a tough-guy predilection for only black coffee. Also, the average soda can contains 39 g of sugar, so cutting back can eliminate those extra pounds.
