College Students

Do you have a frig and way to cook?

Do you have access to the cafeteria?

Try to eat as much fruit and salad as you can. Stay away from deep-fried food, and if it has to be fast food, go Asian; lots of rice,vegetables and lean meat. I'm a Catering Manager in Cambridge UK so I have plenty of practice advising students on good nutrition; good luck!

If you can, get a microwave. Then you can make all kinds of things. Oatmeal, veggies, and even eggs.

Having a rice cooker has helped me a lot! Since you do not have a oven I would suggest getting a slow cooker to cook your meats in, then leave it in the fridge. Also having a slow cooker gives you endless possibility for other meals. During the week when I want to have rice (which is almost every night) I will put my leftover meat and any veggies/beans to steam in the rice cooker, along with the rice. Heats everything up very nicely. Most rice cookers have a separate tray above the rice to steam food in. Also you can steam your food without having to cook rice, if you want too.

You can put raw meat in the rice cooker, but i find preparing it in a larger batch and reheating with the steam to be more helpful. Uncooked meat goes bad very fast in a refrigerator and it needs more time to steam, than the rice needs to cook.
