In college, balanced meals are replaced by all-you-can-eat pizza and a 4 a.m. 12-pack. But for those of us who want to shape up and eat right, here are some of the best healthy meals in Gainesville.

Book Lover's Café Ethiopian Special: Green and red lentils with spice curds, potatoes and squash are served on Ethiopian flat bread with a green salad. Plus, it weighs in at under a gram of fat.
505 NW 13th St

California Chicken Grill Grilled Wings: "Hey guys! Let's have some wings and beer while we watch the game." Sound familiar? Then try the town’s only grilled wings that aren’t fried beforehand.
2124 SW 34th St

Sano Vegetarian Powerhouse Pizza: Pizza is usually served with a side of guilt, but this comes not only with vegetable toppings but also a combination of low-fat and fat-free cheese (that actually tastes better than it sounds).
3458 W University Ave

Bento Café Beef Bulgogi Bento Box: The beef is sautéed in a mildly spicy sauce so you don't have to worry about healthy meaning bland. The box includes rice, noodles, string beans, cabbage and a salad. And, since you’ve watched your calories, you can even eat the cake that it comes with, too.
