How should you achieve good

eating habits?

A balanced diet can be achieved by systematically planning meals and
setting aside preplanned mealtimes; writing down times and meal ideas in a
journal or directly on a calendar can help students stick to these meals. Pre-
prepping meals over the weekend and freezing them is a good way to
actively work on good eating behaviors. However, students who do not have
a kitchen are still able to develop good eating habits with their choices. For
example, for breakfast, instead of having a sugary cereal or a bagel packed
with cream cheese and bacon, the student can pick oatmeal with fruits and
milk. If you are a vegetarian or vegan, protein intake can be supplemented
with beans, tofu and tempeh. Vegan can supplement their dairy intake with
milk alternatives, and calcium and B12 vitamins. A healthy food plan begins
with the first step. Students need to actively be involved in making and
following their own personalized plan to realistically sustain these habits
