Pour your cereal into a coffee cup. Cheerios and Wheaties are great, but when you’re free pouring from a cereal dispenser, it’s easy to serve yourself too much of a good thing. Train your eye to estimate 1 cup (about the size of a baseball), or use a to-go coffee cup to limit your portions, says Flipse.
Make salad the main course. Rather than turn to high-calorie foods as your main dish, fill up on salad and visit the hot bar for your sides. Loading up on veggies can make you feel full on a fraction of the calories and delivers tons of antioxidants. Just make sure you don’t douse your salads in croutons and creamy dressings.
Snag some fruit. If you have an unlimited plan, grab fruit from your college cafeteria and keep a stash in your dorm room. Go for fruit cups or handheld fruits like bananas and oranges.
Say yes to seltzer. You don’t need to be a math major to figure out that self-serve soda fountains and fruit juice machines can add up to a lot of liquid calories. Sticking to water all the time can be boring, admits Oz, so try mixing 1 part fruit juice to 3-parts seltzer for a sweet, fizzy, drink that hits the spot.
