Need Advice
« on: January 10, 2006, 02:35:31 PM »
Hey all, im a college student and im off from break in a couple of days which means...back to cafeteria food. This first semester i kinda pigged out and what not, but i really had no choice since alls they really serve is junkfood. Besides the salad bar not a damn thing there is healthy. i got my protein powder and my supplements but was wondering what i could do about the real meals i need. I am on a more than tight budget, and my job is back home so i got no income (except the occasional poker game). Any advice?

Couple things I did in college;

1) Got a Foreman grill
2) The salad bar, at the cafeteria, load up on the boiled eggs
3) Cans upon Cans of tuna (very cheap)

Yep, get a part time job and make ur own food. I'm at Uni also. I work and feed myself. I've been lucky that I had some money saved before I went to Uni though.

Good luck.

Get albacore, or chicken in a can.  Little more pricey, but better tasting.

Foreman grill, buy a bag of chicken breasts from the store, for like $8, then get a small fridge with a freezer.

You could always try canned Salmon. I hate tuna also but when Salmons on sale I stock up.

I'm in my last semester of college now ( :o),  haven't lived in a dorm in 2 years but definitely remember what it's like.

here's what i did sophomore year:

Bought from the store Sweet Potatos and Oatmeal.  Tons of that.

I stole grilled chicken breasts from the cafeteria (every 2 days) and kept them in my refrigerator.  I also bought Optimum Whey in bulk, even if you use it often it's only like 35 bucks a month.  Pretty much the only three things i ate were salads in the cafeteria, grilled chicken and sweet potatos, and oatmeal mixed with protein powder.  It really worked, and i did all that on less than 100 dollars/month.
