DORM FOOD........3 large meals?

[The Sun Devil]

well i live in a dorm and dont have mom around to cook for me whenever i am hungry anymore so i cant eat the good ole'6 meals a day....

well i am asking since i eat 3 large meals and protien drinks here and there, is this restricting my growth?

i get a large part of calories at 3 sitting and cant spread them out though the day.


should i try to eat more meals outside those 3? or if i eat enough at breaksfast/lunch/ dinner be enough calories?

i would like to get around 4000 cal. a day

Eating depends on your budget. There are a number of people who explode eating only 3 squares a day.

If you are concerned about calories, you can add an additional 3 meals (all liquids - proteins with a piece of fruit). Its rough being a college student, because generally we are lacking money (believe me I know!!).

Eat what you can, but don't put yourself in the poor house.

I used to make myself a few sandwhiches to go and take some bagels from the cafeteria, something you can eat on the run. Though I don't know if they are nazis on whether you take food outside the cafeteria at your school...

money is an issue.......i stocked up on tuna and other cheap food....plus dorm food never has meat.....shity as meat

i am used to eat more steaks then a shark tank ( butcher shop in the family)

eating grilled cheese and some chinese food is pissing me off

For 6'3 235 you should eat more than 4000 cals if you want to grow... I would try for at least 6000

I know caf food sucks from back in the day.... Stuff yourself with anything and everything you can when you hit a meal...
Take tupperwares in you bag and when no one is looking stuff em chock full of everything that you might want later...
Get there early so that there will be a supply of anything that might be good to eat- and if you see something that is good, stock up....
Make sure to eat a couple o hundred calories of whatever when ever you take your protein so that it goes to the best possible use and not converted for energy...


I know how bad is sucks- I must have had about 10,000 ruben sandwiches back in the day- I hated em then but I crave em now!

bingo, thats what i used to do, i live in an on campus apartment now and cook for myself, i eat about 7-8 times a day around 500-600 calories a meal, but thats cutting. I run 2-3 hours 6 days a week and lift for 30-45 min 4 days.

stock up on tuna and pb
they will become your best friends

my profs. didn't care about eating in class, but i didn't make a scene about it, there were those that drew attention eating, that pissed em off

our meal plans had extra points you could buy to eat throughout the day, i would look into that if i were you

since your parents have lots of meat, get yourself a george forman grill and stock up from your parents(if at all possible)

or maybe they will float you some extra cash to buy more food?

I used to find that scrambled egg on wholemeal toast was a good between meal snack when I was at Uni; cheap and easy...
