Alternative healthy foods (breakfast, lunch and dinner) for a student like me!

Shakes are good if you have a nutribullet in your dorm room. Also fresh fruit and veggies bagged for snacks and you can get the 100 calorie hummus or guacamole to dip them in.

To set yourself such a goal is one thing to reach it is another. Without more information ppl can't give good advise sorry. We need to know how active you are for one how many callories you are on for another

Hi guys im new here and i wanted to lose 2 lbs every week. Im a student and i want some advice about some alternative snacks or foods for breakfast lunch and dinner. Healthy ones, for loosing fats! I'll appreciate it. Thanks

Hello! Have you considered whole-grain cereals? Good for breakfast, and very filling.
Whole-grain breads will help also.

Here's my homemade roasted muesli recipe for breakfast:


126.00 mls, Extra Virgin Olive Oil
75.00 g, Honey
50.00 g, Super Grain Mix; White, Red, Black Quinoa and Amaranth
50.00 g, Psyllium Husk

100.00 gms, Currants
50.00 gm , 1 tbspn, Linseed , Sunflower , Almond (LSA)
50.00 g (1 tbs), Black Chia Seeds
1.00 container (1000 gs ea.), Traditional Wholegrain Oats

I'm from New Zealand, so measurements are metric. The ingredients should be available at health shops or even in supermarkets. Also, currants can be substituted with any dried fruit and the quantity is entirely optional.

Heat oven to 125c/257f. Heat oil and honey together on stove top. Mix dry goods (except dried fruit). Pour half into large baking tray, mix half of the honey/oil mixture in. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Repeat with rest of ingredients. Finally, mix in dried fruit.

This makes 24 serves of 1/2 cup at 1011 kjs. I have it with 75gs of low fat yogurt, and half a cup of trim milk each morning. Keeps me full for quite a long time.

Another good snack is a boiled egg. Best of luck!

Hi there, I'm a student too. Good snack options are usually things like granola bars, raisins, or Cashews. For breakfast I often eat something like Raisin Bran or Oatmeal or a smoothie. For lunch I like to either eat like half a pb & j. Or a tuna sandwich or if I can get my hands on some chicken lunch meat those are all good options. And dinner is always the toughest part for me so if you find anything good for dinners lemme know! c:

You can never go wrong with carrot sticks, apple slices or cucumber sticks for a snack - dip them in hummus or peanut butter. Half a grape fruit, and 1/4 cup of porridge (dry weight, before you cook it) is one of my go to breakfasts, and usually keeps me full for 3-4 hours.

Cereal bars and other cereals can be good, but just be wary of the sugar and calories in them - I prefer nutrigrain bars as they're more filling for the same amount of calories as most cereal bars (in my opinion, at least).

Soups is always good, and if you have any veggies getting a bit sad you can cook those and throw them in to bulk it up. Also good for getting rid of the ends of the bread loaf (I swear the end bits were made to be dunked in soup).

Ready meals can also be a good idea, but check the calories and sodium and sugar content before you buy them. I find the pre-portioned amount stops me putting extra on my plate. I usually aim for 200-300 calorie ready meals, then add some steamed veggies on the side.
