Thread: College : \

Hey I was wondering if anyone else lives or lived on a college campus before and tried dieting at the same time. I'm trying to watch what I eat and also trying to eat 5-6 meals a day but its tough with classes, work, and studying. Also its not like I have a stove in my room or money in my wallet. I usually eat at one of the cafes on campus, and I already spent over a grand for my meal plan (mandatory), so I basically have to eat what they're serving. I was wondering if anyone had any advice of what type of food I could have in my room and eat as a meal; I do have a microwave/refrigerator. I'm not over weight, just trying to cut body fat. I drink at least 5 liters of water a day, and water is really the only thing I do drink.

In the cupboard:
Tins of tuna or salmon
Brown rice
Bags of rolled oats
Tins of legumes
Bags of nuts (walnuts, almonds)
Protein powder

In the fridge:
Cottage Cheese (1%)
Eggs
Skim milk
Vegetables/fruit
Nut butters (almond, peanut butter)

All these things are cheap, healthy and things you can cook easily in the microwave.
