In the past I've been too lazy to walk there since it's far from my dorm, but I am going to try to do that next semester (and the bit of exercise to get there is an added bonus).

Thanks for the calorie advice. I think my goal is definitely doable, especially if I stick to the exercise.
The other hall sounds like a win win option...more exercise walking there and better food! As far as the calories go, in order to achieve that type of deficit each day you'd need to figure out how many calories a day your body burns given your current activity levels, and then if you want, you can try to adjust the calories you consume each day so you achieve those deficits. We can help you figure out how many calories your body burns and how many you'll want to consume each day on average if you like.
