RUBEN DELUNt
BY SUSAN OVERCASH
The Battalion
M ustard pretzels, frozen pizza, fast food
and popcorn can be found among the
diets of average college students. It is
not uncommon for Aggies to spend their col
lege years eating these and other unhealthy,
pseudo-plastic cuisine.
To promote healthier lifestyles March has
been declared National Nutrition Month by
the National Center for Nutrition and the
American Dietetic Association.
The campaign is in its 26th year, and the
slogan for the 1999 National Nutrition Month
is “Take a Fresh Look at Nutrition.” According
to the American Dietetic Association, this
year’s campaign is “a call to action that chal
lenges Americans to take responsibility for
their food and nutrition habits.”
Tony Kinchloe of Nutritec said eating
breakfast is another factor in maintaining a
healthy body.
“The most important thing is to eat some
thing for breakfast,” he said. “That will speed
up your metabolism.”
Kinchloe said that it is important to eat car
bohydrates at breakfast to give the body ener
gy for the day. Some people will try to lose
weight by eating only one or two meals a day.
“This just makes the metabolism slow
down,” he said. “The body has to last on that
meal the whole day.”
Instead, through the day, eat five or six
small meals with more protein than carbohy
drates, Kinchloe said.
“This is just a general pattern for people to
follow,” he said. “Obviously, everyone is dif
ferent.”
National Nutrition Month gives students
the opportunity to take a closer look at their
nutritional habits, past and present, and
maybe think twice about eating food in wrap
pers.
Audrey Horton, a junior petroleum engi
neering major, said she remembers her fresh
man diet consisting of pre-packaged meals
and candy she could buy with AggieBucks.
“Meals were whatever was quick and
easy,” Horton said. “Grocery shopping con
sisted of buying 99-cent TV dinners. 1 must
have spent $200 in Aggie Bucks in the Har
rington vending machines,.mostly on mustard
pretzels.”
According to the Scott & White medical ref
erence library (a free phone service provided
by the clinic), a major factor in increasing nu
trition and decreasing stress is eating at least
one hot meal each day.
However, because many students have lit
tle more than a small refrigerator and mi
crowave to cook with, they may not have the
opportunity to cook meals in a dorm room.
Buying a meal plan offers students the op
portunity to eat hot meals on a regular basis,
an important aspect of nutrition.
“My biggest problem in the dorm was that
I didn’t have a stove or oven,” Horton said. “I
had a meal plan. Although there was a salad
bar, 1 always ended up eating hamburgers and
pizza.”
Horton said when she moved out of the
dorms and into her apartment with a full
kitchen her nutrition improved.
"Now that I have a kitchen, 1 canpi
l want to eat,” she said. Tme&tw^
as opposed to processed foods."
Horton said she now cooks regut
that the storage space of her full-size
ator allows her to keep more foodmainl
