College diet??

[JDid23]

Hey guys........ I haven't been on EF for the past 2 weeks since I've been doing my best to live up college.

My diet has been pretty unorganized; at times i have real healthy meals and at times i pig out on whatever. I have the highgest meal plan, so I can go to eat anytime really. I only have 4-5 classes, and they are

Monday: 8:30-9:20 and 9:30-10:20
Tuesday: 8:30-9:20, and 2 classes from about 1:00-4:15, 7:00-9:00
Wednesday: 9:30-10:20
Thursday: 8:30-9:20, 2 classes from about 1:00-4:15
Friday: 8:30-9:20 and 9:30-10:20


Not sure if that was relevant but i already typed it up so i might as well leave it. Tuesday's are a bitch- the only healthy foods I have in my room are almonds and protein bars, so they're at my disposal for Tues/Thurs classes.

I have a lot of food i can eat as well, but not as much as most schools since mine only has about 2400 and there is only 1 main dining hall among some smaller places...

I'm basically looking for ideas on food that I should consider bringing up and ideas on time slots I can eat, especially for Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Any feedback is much appreciated as always

Thanks and I hope everyone's doing well!!

when i go out at night i drink 100 g of micellar casein protein before going out because i wont be eating any food for 5 hours or longer. it keeps me anabolic for 5-7 hours. i would do something similar to this, drink a lot of micellar casein so even if you miss a meal or dont get enough protein in a meal there is the casein for emergency.

Well I usually kept my refrigerator stocked with RTD protein shakes (monster milk, muscle milk) and of course protein bars. Definitely invested in trail mix during classes.

As for Tue/Thur, my college mess hall opened up at 0700 so I was able to get in then, not sure what your hours are. Usually most mess halls (for campuses with a meal plan) also have a snack time, ours was 1500, so I was able to get in then as well.
Hope this helps :/

I'm in college as well. If you can stomach it, and don't have fussy roomates, you can get some sardines for protein while you're in your room. I'm cutting on a CKD right now and practically live off the shit. It's easy though since I love fishy fish. Since I liveoff campus I throw a few cans in my backpack and take em on campus for a quick meal or two between classes. I was eating tuna, but got worried about mercury, especially since I was eating like 8 cans a day. Anyway I'm just rambling now.
Peace.

I'm in the same boat as you man, i try to eat just about every chance i can get, and make sure I never go longer than 2-3 hours. I'll eat one dinner at 5, then one at 7, because thats when mine closes :\ I've tried eating really good to eating pizza and fatty meats.. i just can't seem to gain weight lol

haha shibs. I seem to be the opposite of you bro- i'm at around 5'9, 171 and my abs are starting to not be as visible so i gotta keep up with my diet, lifting, and cardio (wow i hated typing cardio). good luck dude! I'm sure it'll kick in eventually

where you go to college?
