Living Healthy College Style
I'm a 20 year old junior in college, trying to promote a healthy life style for myself and others, which can definitely be hard to do in college. In this blog, I'll experiment with recipes, blog about my own progress towards body wellness inside-and-out, and hopefully help some of you out along the way! Last summer, with a month of exercise and eating right, I lost my freshman 15. Over the past year, I have been maintaining my weight and continuing to hone my healthy cooking skills!

One of my new favorite things to get is the Black Forest Ham, Egg White, and Cheese English Muffin Melt at Subway! It’s tasty, warm, cheesy, packed with 14 grams of protein, and on a delicious and healthy english muffin! You can also put all kinds of veggies on it for some extra fiber, vitamins and minerals! I like mine with spinach, onions, bell peppers, and tomato. Did I mention this steal is only 170 calories and a pocket-friendly $2? Sounds good to me!
I’ve always been curious if a peanut-butter-and-jelly-and-ham sandwich combo would be any good. I’ve looked online, and haven’t seen any recipes for one. So, today I was feeling adventurous and thought I would try it out. The verdict? YUMMY! And this meal balanced all my macronutrients, with protein, carbs, and fats. For just 200 delicious calories!
INGREDIENTS:
- 6 slices oscar meyer deli fresh honey ham (50 cals)
- 1 Tablespoon Better ‘n Peanut Butter or Peanut Wonder (50 cals)
- 2 slices Sara Lee Delightful 100% Whole Wheat Bread (90 cals)
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar Free Jelly/Preserves (I used Apricot this time around :]) (10 cals)
Directions:
Toast the bread if you like a little crunch, spread on the Peanut Butter and Jelly, stack your ham, and top it with the second slice. Munch on, food adventurers, munch on.
I was feeling a little adventurous around lunch time today, so I came up with this sandwhich: A Ham PB&J.
The verdict? It was kind of awesome. My tastebuds are all a tizzy. It was kind of like a dessert… a savory dessert. Delicious! And only 200 calories :)
