" At home, I start my morning with Multi-grain Cheerios and skim milk. Then, I have a turkey sandwich and some celery for lunch, a light afternoon snack of pretzels and tea, topped off with a delicious, healthy meal cooked by my mom for dinner. And yes, I eat dessert sometimes, but it&amp;#039;s along the lines of light ice cream, froyo, or a baked apple. Since I&amp;#039;ve been home, I&amp;#039;ve lost 5 pounds just by eating the healthy food at home. Now, with just 5 days until I&amp;#039;m back in the dining hall, I&amp;#039;m nervous about returning to dining hall food. The dining hall food isn&amp;#039;t gross, but the unhealthy food tastes way better than the healthy food. Lean protein is hard to find, complex carbs are not always available, and the fruits and veggies are limited and not optimally fresh. If I want to check the calories of the food, I have to dig through 12 big black binders and look like a diet-obsessed fool. What&amp;#039;s a girl to do? I&amp;#039;ve made a list of the foods in the dining hall that are available most days, are tasty, and seem healthy. However, I don&amp;#039;t know the calories of some of these dishes or how they are made, which makes me anxious. Breakfast Egg-white omelet with tomatoes and spinach (No cheese) 1/2 cup of Raisin Bran with skim milk An apple or dried fruit Lunch Turkey sandwich open face on one slice of wheat bread (Have to peel off edges of turkey myself \u2014 yuck.) Salad (Hopefully chicken or fish is available to mix in, but usually not.) Soup (Vegetarian option) Dinner Stir-fry (Veggie or chicken) with rice Mixed veggies with a bit of pasta Take my chances with a funny looking casserole...? Dessert Yogurt with Rice Crispies or granola Fruit (There are rarely berries, which is a bummer!) A small portion of one of the nightly desserts or soft-serve A square of dark chocolate in my room I still have lots of questions!! How much oil is used to cook the food? How much fat is in the yogurt and the granola? How much sugar is in the desserts? How much salt is in everything? Readers, help me out! Is it worth looking crazy to dig through those books and get some info?  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
