I am a college student living off campus.I am not eating ramen noodles everyday. I need help, I am trying to get a more defined six pack through adjusting my diet. My daily meal mostly consists of: eggs, and or cereal for breakfast, most likely rice for lunch, and rice for dinner . . . Once in a while I'm able to have a decent lunch or dinner. Am I eating well? I mean I have eggs, milk, and rice, that's good enough isn't it?

    Yes.
    Add peanut butter and bread, potatoes, canned refried beans, raisins, some canned veggies like green beans or green peas.

    Can you make a few pots of chili, soup, or stew (even in the crockpot) and freeze them in portions? It's super easy that way to have meals ready for you and it's inexpensive.

    You should try to eat several serving of vegetables or fruit a day. You can buy frozen vegetables and just use what you need.
    Apples, carrots, onions, potatoes. Meats. Peanut butter, nuts. Bread.
    Dry beans and lentils are not expensive and you can use them in a lot of ways. Beans and rice for example.

    And I eat the vegetables themselves? Nothing on the side? Ah with rice, is that good?
