    is there a refrigerator? if so, you could store greek yogurt. how about sandwiches? sargento reduced fat swiss is low in fat, high in protein per slice.

    am i wrong to feel that your weight is the least of your problems?

    i guess if you eat fast food, maybe don't eat the buns. buy just what you need for the day. Fruits don't need to be cooked and many veggies can be eaten raw. nuts don't go bad, just don't over do them.

    Best of luck.

    You have get very disciplined and eat certain foods that aid in your cause while limited. Grocery stores are there to feed you so be creative and "picky". Breakfast can be cereal and fruit . Fruit doesn't have to be refrigerated. Bananas are good. whole wheat cereal. Any fiber based breakfast food. Even certain muffins. For lunch you could have tuna from a can with wheat bread, fruit, and buy your veggies and eat them whole, cucumbers, raw green beens. I suggest cutting carbs as they are fuel for the body unless your going to exercise on a regular. Dinner should be light. Very light. Eat whatever but count the "fat" on any label. Stick with Turkey or tuna from Subway or something like that. You can do this in your predicament without the convience of a stove and even a fridge. You just have to be vigilant, disciplined and like food enough to find what your body needs to burn fat. Try different foods, but if your forced to go the route of convience make sure you read the label. NO FAT is always good. I have more. I weigh 168 and have a target for 150 cause I'm in training. Hope this helps. The food is out there you just have to find it. They may be in cans and processed which I don't endorse but when your body needs food it's best that label give you something worthwhile. Personally I eat whatever I want as an endurance athlete.

    Peace

    There are a LOT of veggies you can eat raw, get some hummus for dip if you like it. If you don't have a fridge get a cheap cooler, this will help. You can also get things like nuts, olives and fruit for other snacks.
