Overview: Two college women and a registered dietitian join forces to confront the problem of college weight gain. The book describes why women often gain weight after leaving home and what they need to know about food and nutrition.

What works: There are lots of practical tips for eating healthy on the tight budget of a college student. Because many college freshman live in dormitories and eat cafeteria food, the book offers advice on making good choices in the cafeteria line.
