Sophia is not an early riser, and her first class isn’t until 10 a.m.  Every day she grabs breakfast to go from Burger King: a sausage biscuit (2 oz sausage on a medium biscuit) and 12 oz 100% orange juice. Mid-afternoon she stops by the vending machines to get a snack: usually 2 oatmeal cookies and a 12 ounce soda pop. For dinner every day she has a box of macaroni and cheese, made according to the package directions. She adds a hot dog (2 oz) to make it more filling.  Each night she has a snack of one hard-cooked egg and 3-4 slices of wheat bread toast and jam. She figures as long as she feels full, she’s probably getting all the nutrition she needs. After all, she doesn’t crave any particular foods.
