We all know that gaining weight in college is inevitable. However, if you’re smart about the food choices that you make after a night out, or the snacks you choose while you’re trying to crank out that History paper at 2 AM, you’re going to be in much better shape.
Here is a list of both healthy and tasty snacks that are much better for you than that Twix bar from the vending machine.
1. Baby carrots and hummus
So underrated, so good. Don’t forget that Vitamin A, collegiettes!
2. Apples and bananas
These will last much longer in your room than other fruits like strawberries, so stock up.
3. Popcorn
If you’re a popcorn lover but don’t want all the added toxins of microwaveable popcorn, Skinny Pop will be your best friend. Your roommates will love you for this, and soon you’ll be fighting over it.
4. String cheese
String cheese is a great source of calcium. Make Mom happy by eating these if you’re not a milk fan to keep your bones and teeth nice and strong.
5. Nuts
Nuts are a great source of both protein and fiber. Almonds, cashews, and walnuts are excellent choices for snacking on in the library.
