English term

freshmen fifteen

Non-PRO Not for points English to Spanish Other Nutrition
The context is: Many arrive at school with a desire to be attractive to peers and potential romantic partners, and a worry about gaining the “freshmen fifteen.”
And the definition: The term "Freshman 15" is an expression commonly used in the United States that refers to an amount (somewhat arbitrarily set at 15 pounds (7 kg), and originally just 10 lbs (5 kg)[1]) of weight gained during a student's first year at college.
But I can't find a Spanish equivalent.

equivalente No veo cómo vas a poder traducirlo con un término porque no hay forma de hacerlo sin perder el sentido sin explicar el contexto cultural. Si tuviera que hacerlo yo, me resignaría a perder un poco del significado original (cargado de un contexto cultural que no tiene equivalente en las culturas hispánicas- por lo que conozco) y pondría algo así como: lo que uno engorda el primer año en la universidad.
