Food Journal

Wednesday 3/3

Breakfast 9:00am
I usually don't eat until after my 8:00am class, but during class I have water mixed with Energy Crystal Light. After class I had a bowl of Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal with skim milk, a blueberry bagel with cream cheese, and a glass of cranberry juice at Pioneer Hall. I eat breakfast here three times a week because I am usually pretty hungry after my first class and my friends and I always go together to catch up, it is also already paid for because of my meal plan.

Lunch 1:00pm
I decided to go back to my room and eat Easy Mac and drink water (my friend and I were supposed to have lunch together, but she bailed on my at the last second). I have just enough time in between my classes to go back to my room if I want, so I usually just make something fast, and I get sick of eating in the dining halls so I try to mix it up every once in awhile.

Snack 4:00
I had pistachios in my room and water, because I was little hungry and that was pretty much the only small snack food that I had in my room (I'm running low on food and don't really want to go to the store to buy more since spring break is coming up).

Dinner 6:00pm
I had two slices of ham, green beans, mashed potatoes, a glass of skim milk, and decided to splurge and have an ice cream cone with vanilla ice cream. I ate in Centennial's Dining Hall because it is convenient and I have a meal plan there so the meals are all already paid for.

After dinner "snack" 9:30pm
My friend wanted to go to late night at Centennial Hall, so I decided to go with her so I could get a caffeinated drink so I could stay up and do my homework. I got a small bowl of chili because I was a little hungry and didn't want to just sit there while she ate, and I got a Diet Coke so I could get a little caffeine.

Throughout the day I am always drinking water because I carry around my water bottle with me in my backpack.

Thursday 3/4

Breakfast 7:45am
I had a Chewy chocolate chip granola bar in my room before I left for class so I wouldn't get too hungry during lecture. I also had a water with energy Crystal Light in it during my 8am class in hopes of staying awake during lecture.

Lunch 11:30am
I had a Panda Bowl of fried rice and orange chicken from Panda Express and pomegranate limeade Odwalla juice. My friend and I always have lunch together on Thursdays, we decided to meet at Coffman and get lunch since it is right by both of our classes and we get done around the same time, and we can use our FlexDine so lunch was technically already paid for. We ate the Chinese food in her room so we could hang out and watch tv.

Snack 3:00pm
I had a mini bag of low fat popcorn and water because I was getting a little hungry and I smelled popcorn coming from someone else's room so I was craving it. I ate it in my room because I was doing homework there.

Dinner 7:30pm
I had a plate of spaghetti and a glass of skim milk at Centennial's dining hall. My friends and I always go to Centen's pasta late night every Thursday. I go there to eat with my friends and because I have a meal plan so it is already paid for.

Again, I had water throughout the day.

  1. Julie, does that Crystal Light work to keep you awake? I'm a coffee fiend but I may try your method, it seems like it's a major part of your routine. From what you recorded you always have your meals either from somewhere on campus or snack in your room, so you must value convenience most when choosing your food -- understandable because you are a student! It's especially smart to have campus food since you need to get the most out of your dining plan.

  2. Yeah,

    What's IN that Crystal light? I'm a (mostly) willing coffeee addict, but I know it changes the sleep / wake cycles.
