Students go off to college to gain knowledge, but most end up gaining weight as well. According to a 2012 study by researchers at Auburn University, 70 percent of students packed on the pounds during their four-year college career. The University of Southern Mississippi alumnus Brandon Nabors can relate to those students. He gained over 100pounds while at college.
“I was eating at least a thousand calories or more per meal,” Nabors said about his college diet. He said he consumed between 3,000 to 4,000 calories a day. The recommended daily caloric intake is 2,000 calories.
