My diet sucks. Idea's for meals...

[h_ven]

I am a sophmore in college. I lived in the dorms my first year, now I live in a house with 4 other roommates.

We have a stove, micro, and all that other good stuff.

Right now my diet is horrible, I try to eat Subway more that McD's, Wendy's and other places like that.

I buy lunch meat from the deli and make ham and cheese sandwhiches, but I eat too many hot pocket, frozen pizzas, and roman noodles.

What are some easy things I could cook up, and what are some other healthy raw foods I could eat?

get a foreman G5. Easy to clean and quick for good stuff like chicken breasts, paninis, etc...

Canned boneless salmon, or tuna fish.

I eat it with rice.

Add mayo, mustard, tabasco, soy, whatever to jazz it up....

have been in the same situation as u OP and i can't tell u how good of an idea the foreman grill is...fairly healthy and easy to use...

steaks on the george are not too bad either...whip up some mashed potatoes while it is cooking and that is a good meal in itself!

i just read a recent post about these great soups and frozen dinners at trader jacks (i'll try to find it), also if you're heading out anyway, swinging by the local grocery store and hitting up their salad bar isn't too bad either

What's your monetary situation like?

If spending $10/meal on food isn't that big a deal, find some decent restaurants and frequent them. When you don't feel like going out, make some pasta with Rao's sauce.

If you can't do that, just eat a ton of eggs and pasta.

Staples of my diet are this:

Meat (Burgers/Chicken Breasts/Pork Chops/Fish/Beef/etc)
Hash Brown Potatoes or Rice
Frozen Vegetables (Corn/Brocolli/etc)

The side dishes are easy to make, and most of the meat I grill.

For lunch I generally go with Peanut Butter Sandwiches and Yogurt.

Breakfast should be easy to figure out.

By making all your own food, you will save a ton of money and you will inevitably eat better.

theres a post somewhere about "meals for single guys" check it out.

i bought a ton of frozen chicken breasts, bought pork chops and froze them, bought steaks and froze them. I put them all in idividual ziploc bags and I always take a piece out in the morning. I cook these on a georgeforman (mine's not th eg5 and a huge pain in the ass to clean), and usually cook pasta or rice (sidekicks, ben's bistro, [censored] like that). Throw in some salad from a prewashed bag and some cherry tomatoes and you have a great meal.

That's mostly what I eat anyways.
