Grocery List for College student?

fighting_london Posts: 89 Joined: 2005/12/25	2005/12/27, 08:54 PM I have a refridgerator and a microwave. That's it. I can't really cook anything (unless its noodles or tv dinner), but I can make sandwiches and stuff. What would you suggest for a grocery list for a college student on a limited budget? With that note, I see these Lean Cuisines and Healthy Choice frozen meals. Are those actually good for you?
	2005/12/28, 05:43 AM u can make just about anything in a microwave.....google.com for ideas and the grocery list is tacked at the top....even making sweet potato with veggies and then opening a can of tuna is a fairly decent meal...albeit too high in sodium...

I'm rather new to this stuff - I've never changed my diet (other than cutting out sweets and fast food for marching band) to lose weight and body fat percentage; our fitness advisor told me to take a multivitamin which I have been doing. It cut my appetite at first, but now its normal.

My fride/freezer consists of eggs, frozen chicken breast, frozen brocolli (great for an easy snake) protein powder, turkey breasts, whole wheat bread, natural peanut butter, fresh fruit and skim milk. I have other stuff to but those are mostly what I eat. The frozen chicken is really easy to make. Just make sure you add some natural flavors and you'll be ok.

Baked potatoes or sweet potatoes are easy in the microwave to - a trick i learned that keeps them moister is to cook them and then place a bowl over them and let them steam for a few minutes in the warm microwave. -------------- You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be. - David Viscott
