What Can I eat in college without meal plan and cooking utensils?
Hey, I’m in college and living in the dorm room. In my dorm room, there are no cooking utensils (stove etc) and I’m not going to be on the meal plan either because its 4,000 a year. I was wondering what could I eat? Not just sandwiches but like microwaveable food?
Frozen dinners if you have a freezer. Buy the top brands. Ask a clerk to show you which ones.
If you do not have a freezer, buy the precooked meats that are in sealed packages. These can be kept in the fridge (not the freezer). There is a use by date on each package. There is enough for two dinners in each package:
Roast beef with gravy;
Pot roast with gravy;
Baked ham;
Roast pork;
and lots more.
Follow microwave directions on the packages.
Canned vegetables make good side dishes.
Canned meats of all types can last on the shelf for long periods of time. Add mayo to most:
Salmon;
Tuna;
Beef;
Chicken;
Kippers;
Sardines;
Soups;
and lots more. Have a clerk show you where to find them.
Ask a clerk to show you were the Hormel Completes are. Microwave or drop the unopened packages into hot water. Good for camping too. Go here for pictures and information:

Instant oatmeal or Cream of Wheat; or boiled eggs; or cereal and milk; health bar such as Fiber One are all good for breakfast and will keep your brain working early in the morning.
Health bars are good for lunch too. In between meals too.
Well do you have a mini fridge or microwave or something? Can you buy one?
Otherwise I’m seeing a raw food diet coming up for college years. Buy apples & bananas for example for snacks.
Peanut butter and bread do not require refrigeration or cooking. Apple and peanut butter. Celery & peanut butter with raisins (bumps on a log)
Or McD’s $1 salad and a parfait maybe on your diet for cheap stuff.
I only lived in a dorm a short while before moving to apartment, so it will depend I guess on what you can own, what amenities they offer etc.

You can always have microwave meals or soups, also you can buy a egg poacher for your microwave to make eggs. If you Google microwave recipes you will find lots of ideas such as how to cook pastas or rice, cakes, all sorts of things you could cook. And the obvious things like noodles or easy Mac haha 🙂
