When you start university, many things change. The average student has little free time to devote to other activities, including maintaining ** healthy eating habits **. Often it happens to eat between lessons, or to study late and have dinner afterwards and other situations that do not guarantee neither time nor willingness to have a healthy meal. Not to mention that eating well involves an additional expense of money, which many students do not have. For this reason we have decided to reveal the tricks to start eating well.

** Prepare homemade healthy snacks **

After an evening spent drinking, going to a pizzeria or somewhere that prepares snacks is a must. Now think if, instead of stopping at some bar, you would go home and find some snacks ready: you would really save a lot of money and eat healthier food. Organize your shopping so you can ** prepare your favorite snacks ** for these occasions, such as pizzas, fries and burgers; they will certainly be healthier than those bought at the club and will allow you to save a lot of money, without giving up on eating things you like.

** Learn easy recipes of healthy dishes **

The discussion of snacks can easily extend to all meals of the day. Learning ** healthy, cheap and easy recipes ** must be a college student's priority. Instead of pasta you can use brown rice, for example, to which you can add sauces that are simple to cook. Another easy to cook and very good food is eggs, which can be made in countless different ways. Obviously, meat is also a food that, without exaggerating, is very healthy and can be cooked in many ways. Therefore the advice is to start looking for healthy and tasty recipes that will save you a lot of money; if you can't think of anything you can always eat a tasty salad.

** Stock up on healthy snacks **

During a study day, every student needs to recharge their batteries with snacks. Instead of buying candy, chocolate and chips, you could substitute apples, bananas and other fruit or carrots and similar vegetables. Great for giving you ** lots of energy during the most intense study phases ** is nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, but also cheese or crackers. In short, you can give vent to your imagination and look for the healthiest snack that best suits your tastes!

** Plan balanced meals with your friends **

If you find that you can't follow a ** balanced diet ** alone, do it in the company of your friends! Organize dinners where each of the guests will have to cook something: it will be a way to eat well and test the cooking skills of each of them, as well as a great way to consolidate the friendships established during college. Furthermore, by dividing the expense, it will be a way to spend an evening with friends while spending very little.
