Start at the salad station, sit down, eat it, THEN go up to the "main course" station. You won't be starving, so you will choose better options. Two, I used to avoid the "good" dining hall, the one that always offered mac and cheese and pizza and all the soft serve ice cream in the world. Instead, I'd go to the one with less options, because usually the most appealing things would be a nice turkey sandwich or a bowl of chicken noodle soup. Two things:
