By: Emma Slattery, Student NutritionistI wrote the original post last fall on the blog Your Guide to Living Well @ UMD but with the freshmen moving in today and starting the Anytime Dining plan, I'll repost the content! First day on campus, you walk into the dining hall and are overwhelmed. Not by the weird new hand scanner that replaced swipe cards, but by the trays and trays of enticing food that are now serve yourself, and all-you-care-to-eat style. Naturally, you head to the nearest station, grab a plate, and pile it high with food. Before you know it you’re sitting with your friends, mindlessly eating everything on your plate and feeling stuffed. Despite feeling stuffed you go back for second or third servings because you can and it tastes so good! It is incredibly common to overeat in a buffet style setting and the new Anytime Dining is essentially a buffet. However, there are strategies students can use to navigate and survive the new dining hall program without gaining unwanted weight or feeling like you need a nap after every meal!
Share in the comments your favorite strategy to navigate the Anytime Dining Halls!
