Major Themes?
– Don’t get trays and pay attention to plate size
– Veggies – ½ a plate, or more – Whole grains/starches – 1 fistful – Protein – size of your palm, ½ thick; like a deck of playing cards
Moderation
Customization
– Ask if you can have more veggies, less meat, no potatoes, etc. – If you don’t like to eat something, take it out
thirsty
Hydration
website DO NOT include the sides you get. So if you add fries, add on about 300 calories
More Tips!
In Your Dorm Room
– Fresh fruit – Oatmeal/nuts – Yogurt – Bags of vegetables (can be microwaved)
whole wheat bread
At School
at UCLA
hours
what you are getting from your meals
What am I missing?
