Can I live off of food/microwaveable food for 4 or so years?

    Food at my college is absolute garbage and I'm wondering if it'll be healthy if I just go out and buy fruits and microwaveable oatmeal or meats or something and eat that for college. Will that be healthy? Is there anything in my diet that I'll be missing out on?

    edit: crap I meant fruits not food in the title

    When I was trying to lose weight through college (just graduated in May), I would buy microwavable foods. Annie Chun's noodles made for quick, satisfying meals with about 200-275 calories per bowl. Lean Cuisine was also a decent option. Just don't buy the trash TV dinners, like Hungry Man or Banquet. I'd think they'd assassinate your whole diet.

    You could also just buy frozen vegetables and boil them when you feel like it.

    I got the rest of my nutritional needs from vodka. I turned out fine.

    Canned chicken breast chunks are tasty and if they're rinsed aren't loaded with sodium. You could combine them with some of your nuked veggies or some salad greens for some decent meals. There are also some reasonably good microwavable Thai and Chinese bowl-type meals out there. Add some canned chicken to them and they are quick and marginally more nutritious than (or at least a decent change from) mac and cheese. Oh, and the canned mac and cheese combined with low sodium stewed tomatoes and the aforementioned canned chicken is also tasty, but is a fairly calorie-packed meal.
