Connors said planning a healthy snack is easy and

to just pop some change into a snack machine. But
e inexpensive tastebud-tingling treats might not al-
s be the best choice.
onnors said most people have a common miscon-
ion about sugar.
Sugar boosts you up,” Connors said. “But then it
s you really low, really fast. ”
onnors said students run into problems when buy-
irinks they think are good for them.
Another thing that people don’t realize is that fruit
?saren’t always a good choice,” Connors said. “They
etimes have a lot of sugar in them, which makes
im not much better than a coke. ”
iven though snacking is sometimes frowned upon,
nors said it is good for students on the go.

“Snacks keep your metabolism going throughout the
day,” Connors said. “It also prevents overeating when
you finally get to sit down and have a meal. ”
College students are so busy that they sometimes for
get to sit down and eat the most important meal of the
day. Connors said what one eats for breakfast will affect
the rest of the day.
“Eating fiber for breakfast will make you feel more
full for the rest of the day,” Connors said. “A lot of col
lege students skip breakfast, starve until lunch and
then overeat.”
Not everyone sticks to veggies for healthy snacks.
Some get more creative and like a bigger variety.
Dena Lubbering, a senior marketing major, said she
does not bring healthy food to school, but when she goes
home, she eats healthy.
“I like to eat Grape Nuts cereal, cheese, hot green tea,
tuna and asparagus,” Lubbering said. “I try to buy stuff
from the store that is light or fat free. ”
Lubbering said eating healthy is worth the extra time
and effort when one considers the payoff.
“I don’t want to turn into a blimp,” Lubbering said.
“Staying healthy puts me in a good state of mind.”
Some health-conscious students get stuck on campus
without healthy food. Jessica Miller, a senior informa
tion systems major, said she has found a way to eat
healthy on campus.
“If you go to one of the food places in the MSC, you
can buy water and crackers to tide you over,” Miller said.
Miller said if students eat right, it will help them
avoid the mental ups and downs that come from a
diet of junk food.
“If you stay away from a lot of sugar, you can keep
going longer,” Miller said. “Healthy eating can let you
study longer and have more energy. ”
Not all students trouble themselves with the trap
pings of a healthy lifestyle. For a student on the go, fill
ing an empty stomach is the only deciding factor.
Andy Hutton, a senior economics major, said he does
not concern himself with healthy food choices.
“Health food has no effect on my life whatsoever,”
Hutton said. “I’m young, and my metabolism is still
good. I don’t think about it much. I probably won’t un
til I’m forty, and I’ll get fat from eating a cracker.”
