<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

Here's the situation. About 7 years ago (I was 14 at the time), my entire family went on a low-carb diet and I went from about 240 pounds to 170 (38 pant size). Realizing that eating low-carb was entirely unsustainable long-term, my family fell off and over the last few years, I've gotten back up to about 280 pounds, 42 pant size.

I'd really like to get that weight back off and get back to a normal weight about 190-200 lbs, 38" waist. However, I am attending a college that requires I get a meal plan, so I have to eat there. I don't really have the extra money to pay for a ton of extra meals/snacks/etc. once that is paid for.

**So here's the question:** How does one eat healthy in a college environment? I do pretty well making time to work out, but my real issue is eating well. It's a struggle in the buffet-style and fast-food-style environments my school offers. I also need filling options for when I have to go a while between meals.
<bot>: In college, want to drop 80 pounds, wondering how to eat well on a school meal plan w/ limited veggie and fruit options.
