Orlando, Fla.— Every freshmen is dying to know how not to fall under the spell of gaining the freshmen 15. Meghan Murphy Van Camp gives away the secret at University of Central Florida’s Wellness center on Nov. 22.
Students from UCF and Valencia Community College are welcome to watch and learn as Van Camp explains healthy meals and snacks to eat on and off campus.
“I feel like I’ve learned more from her than from most of my teachers,” said Becky Kingsdorf.
Van Camp is a registered dietitian and a licensed nutritionist who works part time at UCF. She does cooking demos and presentations, as well as having office hours where you can come in and set up a diet plan with her help.
“I love food,” said Van Camp, “I want to teach students to love healthy food too.”
Van Camp brought in 100 calorie chips to inspire students to choose healthy snacks. She goes on to tell students how many calories they should intake in one day, along with showing foods they should eat to maintain that number.
“I’m excited that I know the secret,” said Sally Kee, “I’m telling all my friends.”
During the presentation Van Camp told students they didn’t need to stop eating those fried foods and mac and cheese, just cut down on them and add some vegetables to your meal. She also went on to tell students that just walking to class instead of driving can help keep that weight off.
“Choose color,” said Van Camp, “instead of having the browns on your plate like fries and a burger substitute the fries with something green like broccoli.”
