Many times, students play sports in high school but don’t go out for a team in college. This translates to less energy burned, and often loss of muscle mass. If caloric intake remains the same, weight gain will occur. If caloric intake decreases, inadequate nutrients may be consumed.

2) Your activity level decreases sharply from when you were in high school and attending all those football or cheerleading workouts.

3) You’re eating more because you’re studying and have that bag of chips/oreos or whatever next to you munching while you study in addition to your meals.

4) You are eating more fast food because you don’t have mom cooking all those 3 good balanced meals a day–it’s mickey d’s, or dominoes, or pizza hut, subway, whatever high fat food you’re craving at the next meal or whatever they’re serving in the cafeteria/food court.

LOTS of reasons to gain weight!!!

A fattening combination…
