Most college students are unaware of what to eat and in what quantities
MyPlate is easy to read, yet can be confusing as to what determines the size of a “normal” plate
MyPlate can help college students understand what they might be missing in their diets, as well as what they eat too much of.

7. THINGS TO AVOID AT COLLEGE
Drinking is a major part of the college life, but can compromise health extremely due to dehydration, added calories, weakening the immune system, sand other unhealthy habits it brings about
Cafeteria food can be a good choice if the student themselves are making the effort to make the right choices. Do you get the cheeseburger and fries, or the salad with chicken and some fruit?
Avoid eating out. A sit down meal is more proper. In addition, you are not feeling rushed with your meal, promoting an easier digestion.
