This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCLA chapter.

This is the first of my posts about creative, low-calorie, low-fat, nutritious meal ideas that can be made in any of UCLA’s dining halls or easily made in an apartment for a fast solution to your quest for a delicious yet healthy meal!  Here is the “recipe” below…enjoy!  Be sure to check back each week for more ideas including breakfast, lunch, snack, and desert ideas.

 
Easy BBQ Chicken Salad
 
1.      Fill bowl with lettuce
2.      Pile corn, tomatoes, bell peppers, and carrots on top (or whatever veggies you want)
3.      Add a piece of grilled chicken on top
4.      Use the BBQ sauce that the dining halls have for the chicken to drizzle on top of your salad as a yummy dressing
5.      Add about 1 tsp of low-fat ranch dressing if you want, but use it sparingly!
6.      Cut up the chicken and mix everything

Madeline Hunt is a senior at UCLA majoring in Communication Studies with a minor in Spanish. Originally from the laidback beach-town of Santa Barbara, the California native finds the fast-paced nature and eccentricity of LA extremely exciting. Once more, she decided to expand her horizons when she studied abroad this past fall in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Madeline wants to pursue a career in the entertainment industry and is considering broadcast journalism and public relations as potential options. On campus, she is currently the Public Relations & Marketing Director for the student- run organization Fashion and Student Trends and an intern at E! News. She served as an entertainment reporter on UCLA’s accredited student newspaper, The Daily Bruin, under the video division and is a current member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. During her free time, she enjoys playing tennis, exercising, going to the beach, shopping (online shopping will be the death of her!), reading Glamour and Cosmo, eating Mexican food and sushi, spending time with her friends, practicing her Spanish, and satisfying her weakness for caffeine with Starbuck’s lattes.
