Don’t know what to add to your college grocery list? Eating out a lot due to lack of planning? This is the shopping list that helped me avoid the Freshman 15 and stick to my tight budget…..
In college, you have so many different things going on, it can be difficult to remind yourself to eat healthily, and even more so, create a healthy grocery list.
It really doesn’t have to be so difficult to eat healthy in college, and doing a grocery list can really help you stick to a healthy diet. It allows you to keep all the ingredients you would need for healthy meals, as well as stop you from popping out to the store for quick-fix unhealthy snacks and meals.
Without a grocery list, you will end up buying things you don’t need, going way over your budget, buying stuff you already have at home, and buying mismatched items that don’t work well together to form a meal.
Eating healthy in college is so important to ensure you get all the nutrients, vitamins and energy you need to keep up with your busy lifestyle.
To make it a little easier on you, here is an example of a healthy grocery list to use when in college, which is also budget-friendly.
Breaking down the shopping list into different meals for the day helps you to buy exactly what you need, and to plan your meals better.
