I origininally posted this in the wrong section so now posting it here. Sorry...
I know I need to be eating more to supplement my Exercise Program, but it's hard because I'm kind of limited to what I can do for food since I live in a barracks and have a microwave to cook with or nasty galley food. Heh. So just asking for easy ideas on foods to eat that can be easily made using a microwave or served cold.

"Simple foods are often your best option. Things like eggs, tuna, cottage cheese, potatoes, shole wheat tortillas to make wraps, come to mind as easy to prepare and good sources of protien and carbs. You may want to invest in some protien suppliment and make shakes out of it to get more protien in your diet. Look at the grocery list for healthy eating which is tacked at the top of the food/nutition posts.
Hope this helps a bit. Do you have easy access to a fridge to store food?"

Flyonthewall was right on...
brown/black rice, sweet potatoes, yams, lentils, kashi, beans,etc...for carbs....all of whcih you can cook in microwave ....inside a microwaveable container....
cheese, cottage cheese, canned tuna, fish, eggs, chicken......
nuts, trailmix...
you can cook many types of foods, even the ones you wouldn't think you could....
e.g. turkey
Microwaving Method: Always check the user’s manual for cooking recommendations.
* A 12 to 14 pound turkey is the maximum size most microwaves can accommodate.
* Allow 3 inches oven clearance on top and 2 to 3 inches of space around bird.
* DO NOT STUFF!
* Use an oven-cooking bag for more even cooking.
* Microwave on medium-high (50 percent) for a whole turkey, 9 to 10 minutes per pound.
* Always use a meat thermometer to determine doneness. Temperature should reach 180 °F before removing from oven.
* Let bird stand 20 minutes after removing from microwave before carving.
