With finals fast approaching, who has time to think about dieting before the holidays? Thankfully WUSTL Dining has plenty of options for us to choose from. The only problem is knowing which foods to pick! We know that fruits and veggies are always a safe bet, but what’s the difference between an oatmeal raisin cookie and an oatmeal bar? Are mozzarella sticks that unhealthy? Not to worry- HC WashU has you covered. Take a look at the following list of food swaps to save unwanted fat and hundreds of calories while still eating what you love. Okay, there may be some sacrifice involved (chocolate milk is arguably less indulgent that a chocolate shake), but you’ll be grateful two weeks from now when you can still fit into your favorite holiday dress. Good luck studying- and happy snacking!
