Ask the Nutritionist

I'm a commuter and as such, have to pack for the day every time I head out the door. I don't have access to the dining hall, and like the typical college student, am quite strapped for cash. What foods can I bring with me that will last throughout the day and really satisfy me?
What does it mean to have food with anti-oxidants in it? What kind of health benefits do these have? Which foods should I look out for in the grocery store?
How can I survive Thanksgiving without putting on weight?
I eat mostly because I'm bored. What can I nosh on all day that will be a good distraction but not make me crave sweet or salty foods?
I have awful love handles. They are my definite problem spot. I know spot training is difficult/impossible, but there must be something I can do! Is there any foods I can avoid or exercises I can do to get rid of these gross love handles?
I had a slight case of bulimia. I am trying to control it on my own without letting my parents or friends know. Sometimes food automatically comes up while I'm eating and so I worry I trained my body to throw up. What are the best ways to deal with this on my own?
