Question:
Help! I'm going to camp I'm not sure if I'll be able to continue eating healthfully!?
Camp food is notorious for being "bad for you" kind of food. I've been doing really well lately with my eating and exercise habits, and I'm beginning to see the results. On Sunday, all this is going to change because I'm going to sleep away camp! How can I keep making healthy choices with a menu like this:

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

This food is not like all other camp foods...it's really good! It's really hard to resist, so it's not going to be easy for me, especially with the dessert every night.

WHEW! That is a 'bad diet' for anyone, espcially if you are trying to eat more healthy food ... but you can 'pick and choose' and eat ONLY the 'good stuff' ... try eating ALL of the 'fruit' and vegetables (even if you must 'scrape off' the cheese sauce to see them), and only eat abbout1/2 of the meat. You'll also need 'carbohydrates' because they give you energy, so skip the 'eggs and sausage' and eat cereal for breakfast (if you can use SKIM milk, or eat it 'plain' and drink juice and eat fruit, or mix it with yogurt if htey have that. Remember that you'll be more 'active' at camp, because of all of the organized sports stuff, so you can eat 'a little more' food, but try to eat as 'healthy as possible' and if someone ASKS YOU WHY YOU ARE BEING PICKY tell them "I need to eat HEALTHY FOOD and so much of this is JUNK I can't really eat it.' You may get 'frowned at' but if enough of you say this, the head of the camp will 'learn' and maybe next year the 'food' won't be so 'unhealthy' when CAMPING is so 'good for you.'
