You are here  Beginnings of malnutrition?  I've really messed up
my diet lately. I'm in the middle of an extremely busy semester
and there have been many days where I'll go 8-12 hours or longer
without eating. I feel like I'm wasting away. I really just
haven't had time to cook, so I'm either prioritizing class or
sleep over eating, or I'm eating on the go when my options are
scarce. Now when I get hungry it's on this uncontrollable,
ravenous level. I feel completely off balance. I'm getting
extremely strong cravings for tofu, beans, and unfortunately
(and most extremely) eggs. I'm trying to figure out what it is I
need to do (in addition to eating regularly, of course) to get
myself back on track. I feel like I may be severely lacking some
nutrients even though I supplement regularly. Any advice?  As
someone who is working, going to school, and caring for a sick
loved one, I can't stress enough how important it is to eat
healthy and regularly in order to be the best you can be and
keep your body going strong
