Hello all! I hope everything has been going swimmingly with the college search.\u00a0 If you\u2019re still reading this blog, it looks like you\u2019re on the right track.<\/p>\nHello all! I hope everything has been going swimmingly with the college search.\u00a0 If you\u2019re still reading this blog, it looks like you\u2019re on the right track.<\/p>\n
Since the summer of 2006, I\u2019ve been an on and off vegetarian.\u00a0 It started simply as an attempt to be cool, to parallel with my hipster-wannabe phase before 9th grade.\u00a0 Over the years, my vegetarianism has evolved into a serious, purposeful habit in an attempt to make a difference while improving my health.<\/p>\n
So, when I first came to Boston University, I was so excited to be in the big city of Boston, because cities are usually more vegetarian-friendly than small towns like the one I\u2019m from.<\/p>\n
Sadly, I faced some disappointment.<\/p>\n
Finding vegetarian places to eat was a lot harder than I thought it would be.\u00a0 But luckily BU offers TONS of options for ALL people, whether they be meat eaters, vegetarians, or vegans.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a quick guide to pinpointing the perfect meals for your meat free and healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n
I always walk around the dining hall to see my choices, and tend to start at the Vegan Delight section. The dishes here are obviously always vegetarian, but you just have to be careful- a lot of the time, the food is fried in someway, which takes it off the healthy list.\u00a0 If this is case, I\u2019ll move on.<\/p>\n
The sandwich station is always a great place to stop.\u00a0 Sargent\u2019s Choice offers it\u2019s picks for healthy eating, including whole wheat breads and fat free cheese.\u00a0 Add some fresh, crunchy veggies, and you have a solid meal!<\/p>\n
I never automatically rule out the dishes that are presented with meat, because a lot of the time they\u2019ll serve it vegetarian style.\u00a0 This especially goes for pasta dishes.\u00a0 Just ask for your whole wheat penne without chicken and you\u2019re good to go!<\/p>\n
Breakfast for breakfast, lunch or dinner is always the easiest to eat for.\u00a0 Check out the healthy, whole grain hot and cold cereals, fat free yogurts, and delicious fruit salad that are available all day!<\/p>\n
So, although people may think you\u2019re strange for not eating greasy, fat bacon or constantly question your decision to cut fried chicken from your diet, your choices are just as plentiful as theirs (and a lot of the time, just a bit more healthy).
