Anyone in college?

fireloard Posts: 665 Joined: 2001/03/27	2002/04/12, 05:48 PM Anyone else here in college and have to eat dorm food?.. Dorm food here seems like it has some minimum requirement of as much fat as humanly possible in each serving.. balancing what I eat sucks.. it like that for anyone else?

The dorm food was pretty sucky, but they did try to cater to everyone: vegetarians, carnivores, and health nuts. I can imagine that balancing your food is hard because you're not really sure of the nutritional information.

I graduated in 1998 from Florida Southern College and I have to hand it to them, they had a very good meal/food selection. I used to eat sooo much (still do, though) and I gained a good amount of lean mass. You could eat as much as you wanted and go to the cafe as often as you needed to. I took this opportunity to the extreme. I have visited other colleges and I know exactly what you guys are talking about. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"

I really can't get any closer.. its great.. esp in winter since it only takes about a minute to run across the street through the parking lot and into the gym... I think the suppsosedly 'best' building is the farthest away.. kinda sucks.. depends on what I want.. convience.. or comfort.. ============ Quoting from lumina20: Well, the only problem with that is that a lot of times, your freshman dorm has noooooo kitchen and an extremely tiny refrigerator, so it doesn't really lend itself to cooking or storing any good stuff. =============
