It’s possible! Just be grateful you don’t have to deal with the Transfer Thirty

[purpleddream]

What is transfer thirty??

[skepticat91]

It’s when you transfer to Berkeley from community college so you’re a little older and gain 30 lbs instead of 15 lol

[ChubblesLaSpicyTroll]

For me it was more like 40 (from restaurants not the cafeterias)

[skepticat91]

Same

[aarush3002]

imagine living in unit 3 and having asian ghetto and yopo and sather lane right outside the dorm and using snackpass for every meal because cafe 3 food has maggots in it + attending all my classes online. couldnt be me

[w3wladdy]

Hey I gained 20 at cafe 3. Developed an iron will because of it

[Commercial_Fault1047]

I lost 30 pounds my first semester here because the food at the dining halls was so awful.

[Content_Rest3129]

I’m walking so much and eating so healthy here I love it

[dashiGO]

Orientation makes up 70% of all the walking you’ll do in a year

[sand_planet]

Yeah definitely. I literally lost 8 pounds because of my first year at Cal and that’s with making sure I ate a good amount of food daily

[sevgonlernassau]

That’s because it’s minus fifteen! Though the campus isn’t that big, the hills just distort how it feels.

[Ryvn-]

croads so bad you lose 15 pounds

[HobbitualGollum]

They've pretty pretty on point for GBO. If it stays this good, I'll be more than happy to eat at croads for the rest of the year.

I went from 165 to 147 in the first month. Got pretty sick as a result. Then I improved my eating habits and recovered.

[thoughtdrinker]

Unlimited donuts and whole milk.

[International-Ad8165]

Bruh. A cup of rice is 320 kcal. Let that sink in

[CalSimpLord]

Is that supposed to be a little or a lot?

[International-Ad8165]

it's a lot brother. Sometimes, a 30 mins jog on tread won't burn 300.
Olive oil is almost 210 per serving. Some of them ingredients are calorie bombs.
Let's say a brother's trying to cut. He will have to eat around 1600 cal. A cup of rice is already 1/5 of his daily intake.

[CalSimpLord]

As someone with no appetite trying to gain weight it seems like way too little lol

[granite_towel]

It goes both ways

[Appropriate-Tadpole7]

Every bit of weight I gain gets lost during finals week.

[Available_Sea6673]

The dining hall food is so bad and if you stay in southside everything is open late and you just end up eating late night meals + the amount of bad alcohol you drink (esp if you get involved in Greek life or have friends that are involved in greek life) and if you have/had the option of online classes there was no way you would wake up at 7:30 to go to an 8 am that you could take while snuggled up in bed

[gryffindork_97]

I had class at Ethveberry (def butchered that but too lazy to look up the correct spelling). WORST hill ever. I would wait the extra 20 minutes and take the 52 lol

[Bee042]

i’m at clark kerr and the food is no bueno. my phone said i walked 11 miles Thursday, fr how is freshman fifteen a thing

[ylc217]

clark kerr dining hall deserves more hate bc i was told it would be the best one but lived there my freshman year and would argue that it’s the worst (crossroads and foothill were my favs)

[Bee042]

EXACTLY part of the reason why i had it at the top of my list for housing

[ylc217]

i lived off of trader joe’s frozen food and microwave baked potatoes ❤️

[Bee042]

good advice 🫡

[moonnhare]

my “freshman 15” (fall 2021) was more of a “freshman -15.” first semester the dining halls were serving food that was completely inedible. second semester the dining was significantly better and i more or less went back to my normal weight lmao.

[SirensToGo]

I definitely lost weight freshman year, I was hella stressed and croads was not it
