So my question is: Was any one here a Vegan through college? Do you have any tips or suggestions I can pass on to her to set her up for success?

Thanks.
I had a tough time getting through college and I still eat fish and chicken. My happy days were the chilly days, I loved the veggie chilly!

I lost a lot of weight and ate salad almost every meal. I had other friends who were vegetarian who put on weight because they stuck to the fries, pasta and other carbs.

If she has an option to live off campus and isn't required to have a meal plan it will be easy but for me I had to live on campus and have a meal plan
