What are the best foods to eat while at college for bulking?

Hi, I can't really cook perfectly healthy foods in my dorm, and rely on the cafeteria and off campus for my food. What chain restaurants, or foods in particular should I go for. Cafeteria mixes it up every day so its a hit or miss with solid protein sources. Therefore I really rely on off campus foods. Obviously you guys don't know what restaurants are here but to some extent I'm sure you could help. I've heard subway is good, i've been eating there. Any snacks to keep in a dorm room fridge? thanks. Oh and I can't have dairy.

When I was at college 4-5 years ago or so I had a food plan that I had to spend or I wasting money.

The best thing I found was the chicken breast sandwhich. I could toss everything and still have a (shitty tasting) chicken breast.

I'd just dunk in barbecue sauce and get a salad with it.

What's your budget?

You could easily hit up a grocery store and get a rotisserie turkey and some greens.

Or, if budget style, buy cans of chicken or tuna and mow that shit down. Depends on how creative you want to get.

I did set off the fire alarms cooking chicken breast on my foreman grill in my dorm so you might wanna avoid that.

For the meals you can't eat, I would look into some quality protein - muscle milk is decent or Synthra is a decent meal replacement.

Im not in college, but I had a similar problem being at work, no micro, no fast food(small town), etc. I added in cans of tuna with a little corn, raw oats eaten like a ceral(you can throw water or soy), and a shake shaker throwing in some water.
Basically I needed to add some meals for my bulk and I threw 2 meals of the tuna, 2 of the oats, and the shakes and it upped my calories enough with my regualr meals.

Good luck!
