Believe it or not, spring break is only two weeks away! Unless you're one of those people with constant motivation and self control, you might be stress eating while studying for midterms or eating a cookie (or three) from the batch you baked for your little. Don't worry!! You have plenty of time to finally get back on track and that much closer to achieving your personal health goals.
Breakfast
They say it's the most important meal of the day, so try eating a healthy breakfast whenever you can. It can be so easy to forget about breakfast when you're running to your 9 am lecture, but it's also so easy to grab a piece of fruit or a granola bar on your way out. If you're more of a morning person, some healthy cereal, whole wheat toast with fruit, or yogurt are other good options!

Coffee
If you're like most college students, you're probably addicted to it, but that's okay (at least I think it is)!!! However, if you're trying to cut back on your daily sugar intake, swapping that regular white chocolate mocha for a skinny one is (at least) a step in the right direction. Switching to skim milk and skipping the sugar altogether is a smart change too.

Lunch
Next time you plan on going out to lunch with your besties, skip the Chipotle and get a salad (if you're that dedicated, props to you!). If you still decide to go to Chipotle, getting a burrito bowl instead of an actual burrito counts as healthy, right??
Also, these look fun.
Avoid Unhealthy Snacking
Carry your water bottle with you throughout the day to avoid unhealthy snacking. Drinking tea (green, chai, mint, etc.) also has lots of health benefits!

Dinner
Try cooking yourself dinner at home as much as possible! That way, you know exactly what you're eating and can make sure you choose options that are both healthy but not terribly gross.
Limit late-night snacking
It's definitely a challenge, but limiting late-night snacking is a key element of getting in the best shape possible over the next couple weeks. In my experience, doing homework at the library or anywhere other than my room significantly reduces the amount of chocolate I eat while studying.
If that doesn't work well enough for you, here's some more scientific ideas.
Best of luck and happy almost spring break!
