Most college students lead pretty active lives. Most of you walk to class and many of you engage in some type of fitness-related activity, such as going to the gym or running. It’s important to get enough fuel (calories, that is) to help you stay focused and energized throughout the day. Be sure to eat nutrient-dense food, such as fruits, vegetable, proteins and whole grains. Eat breakfast, even if it’s something small like a piece of fruit.   Avoid skipping meals and try to limit processed foods with minimal nutrients.
