lunch bags for college students image
kissmeimdu
I am a college student, but will be working full time this summer. I work 9-5 shifts and want to bring a lunch instead of spending $10 a day on lunch. What can I make the night before or in the morning that is filling and tasty?
I also have access to a microwave and fridge.
Answer
Kiss,
Ten bucks a day is a darned nice lunch. That being said - you can get much cheaper and still eat really well.
Here's the thing - if you cook the night before, you may as well eat it for dinner. You may not want the same thing twice in a row, so save it for the second day. If you have a microwave, freezing something immediately after you cook it will keep it much fresher than a fridge.
Now - ideas:
1. Get some ground sirloin - yes, the good stuff. Mix in an egg and a bun torn into little bits. This will stretch it a little and also make it moister, and it will hang together on the grill better. Make burgers. Baste them w/ sauce when they are half done and they won't dry out unless you cook them to a crisp. Let them cool enough to put in a ziplock bag, and put the ziplock bag inside another ziplock bag - to keep the frost out.
Now - anytime you need a quick burger, just make sure you have buns, keep some condiments in your fridge at work, and nuke your frozen burger. Don't put it on the bun then nuke it or the bread will be tough. These aren't going to win awards, but they aren't bad and they are filling and super cheap when you consider how many meals you get (about 4 burgers in a pound of meat).
2. Get some pillsbury pizza dough. Roll it out. Fill it with meat and cheese and sauce. Don't get too wild with the sauce or it will be sloppy.
Use leftover grilled chicken with a tiny bit of bbq sauce and cilantro and cheddar for a nice bbq chicken stromboli.
Use leftover manwich and cheese for a sloppy joe stromboli.
Use ham lunchmeat, canned pineapple, and cheese for a hawaiian stromboli. A bit of ragu pizza sauce helps this one.
Use your imagination. You can do almost anything with this. You can stuff them with the previously mentioned hamburgers, or wrap them around a hot dog and cheese as well.
I'm a 250 lb guy and these stromboli's will feed me twice.
Also - although fresh fruits are better for you, stock up on canned fruit in light syrup and keep a six pack of the pulltop cans in a desk drawer. They make a good side dish and the meal averages out to be lighter and sits better on your stomach. Get raisins for a snack too.
Another key is being prepared with things to take your food in. You can buy the durable/throw away containers now that seal well for very cheap prices. Make sure you always have something to take leftovers in, and you are more likely to use them.

What is the best diet for a college student?
BryantsMom
I am searching for a fast weight loss diet. I dont have a lot of money and im at school most of the day with no access to a fridge or microwave. It has to stay good for about 2-3 hours in a lunch bag. I also dont want to use any packaged food. Such as special k bars.
Answer
Against common belief of eating less and losing weight that is far from the truth. Your body needs energy to burn the fat and let your metabolism work but when you eat less or incorrectly it'll slow down and store the un processed fat in your body and thats how you become more fat. Eat peanut butter, celary, try to limit sodium intake but make sure to include some of it in your diet. Carb counting and all that bs is pretty much pointless. You can get bananas for relatively cheap and also make sure you drink alot of water and stay away from soda, juices, and even sports drinks like gatorade and etc. The best and healthiest way to lose weight is to eat 5 to 6 small meals a day each of them with a different food group for example. morning you want more carbs so try rice and peanut butter and add some fruits for fiber and cereal is a good source of carbs too. Throughout the day eat fruits, peanuts, bananas, a k bar is good too but the trick is to keep your metabolism going so it continueously be burning those small meals and will burn fat alot quicker. Try to squeeze a run in too or even some in house ab burning workouts like planking or side planks, crunches and stuff like that. I can't express enough to drink water though, your body needs it to stay cool and hydrated because if you don't itll slow down your metabolism and also cause your muscles to create more lactic acid which is was causes sore muscles. Sorry for such a long answer and i hope it helps, If you want a diet plan or a workout plan you can message me on here and i'd have no problem typing one up.
