What I eat in a day (college edition)

I love to start off my day with an iced latte!! I usually have a small breakfast in the morning because Im not that hungry when I wake up. Everyday of eating looks different for me. Some days I cook all my meals and others I go out to eat a lot more.

🥭🫐🍳🍓🥑🥯

BREAKFAST: ⭐️

egg scramble (spinach, mozzarella cheese, sriracha)

mangoes and blueberries

LUNCH: 🥗

Trader joe’s turkey burger

spinach salad with cherry tomatoes, avocado ranch, feta

broccoli (sprinkled mozzarella on top)

DINNER: 🍣

a bunch of different sushi rolls (I shared them with my mom)

... Read moreEating well as a college student can sometimes be a challenge, but with the right planning, it can be both enjoyable and nourishing. Starting your day with an iced vanilla latte can offer a delightful boost, especially when paired with a light breakfast. The egg scramble with spinach and mozzarella, accented by sriracha, is not only quick to prepare but also packed with nutrients. For lunch, a Trader Joe’s turkey burger served with a colorful spinach salad offers a satisfying, protein-rich meal that’s great for busy days. Including ingredients like cherry tomatoes and feta adds flavor and health benefits to your salad. Dinner can be exciting as well; sharing different sushi rolls with friends or family adds a communal element to dining. Sushi is a great option for its balance of carbs, protein, and healthy fats, and there are endless combinations to explore. Whether you’re cooking all your meals or enjoying takeout, remember that food can be both healthy and fulfilling, maintaining a balance that meets your lifestyle needs while indulging in flavors that excite you. For more meal ideas and inspiration on college dining, consider exploring online resources, student food blogs, and kitchen hacks that can help make quick and easy meals a reality.

The sorority house has some of the best meals I’ve had here at Syracuse. Our chef makes lunch and dinner every week day! This is what I ate today, which was so yummy. On Friday’s he makes brunch which is my absolute favorite! I ate some snacks but didn’t include. Enjoy and watch out for more meals
