How can we get students staying up late to control their portions?

Q:


Last week = fridgeThis week = pantry


OBSERVATIONS + INSIGHTS

At night, students gravitate to the pantry looking for a snack




...but they don’t have anything specific in mind




...but they don’t have anything specific in mind

...so they end up eating whatever’s accessible and quick (the unhealthy stuff)


QUICK SOLUTION:

ORGANIZATION:Separate foods into recognizable, labeled containers

*inspiration: SuperFridge


QUICK SOLUTION:containers-allows for easier decision-making by removing browsing/frustration



-placement of containers are organized by healthier snacks at most accessible middle shelf



-placement of containers are organized by healthier snacks at most accessible middle shelf

-adds an extra barrier to fatty packaged snacks/candy


CONCLUDING THOUGHTS:Organization of your pantry and/or fridge is important for improving health.



What few people realize is that they don’t have to cut out all food intake after a certain time at night.I know about this because it’s easier to encourage simple healthy replacements rather than discouraging eating altogether.



Another thing few people realize is that bad snacking habits often result from disorganized access to snacks and food.I know about this because organizing the fridge and the pantry helped make people conscious of their choices and choose healthier options.



Another thing few people realize is that setting up your own barriers to unhealthy snacks greatly decreases your likelihood of consuming them.I know about this because adding one more level of access (another container) to these snacks, and placing them on shelves away from eye level, decreased their consumption.
