College guy - no caffeteria
 
Well,

This is what I got.

I have a toaster, a shaker, a forman, a sandwitch maker, a couple of hot plates, a microwave, and fidge with freezer.

I have been relying on my protein shakes, my spinach, lettuse, tomatoes, and chicken for a long time.

I don't know if any of you are still college people but I am sure some of you might have been there before.

Hit me with a list of options here, I can do some shopping, I make sure I have some orange juice and fat free milk there all the time. I just bulked up on a lot of gatorade, too.

What do you think I can eat for breakfast exept, searal? I am relying on Kashi way too much.

WantingMuscle7 07-13-2005 07:31 PM

Try eggs in the am and you have a forman grill so im sure you can get a lot of chicken breasts cooked up. Tuna and hamburgers would be good to.

Breakfast: Eggs or oats.

Sounds like you are on campus, right? Otherwise you'd have a stove. But with all that gear, how do you fit it in a dorm room?

Tuna, cottage cheese are options. Burgers, tuna steaks, chicken breasts, scallops, steaks, pork chops--all good on the foreman.

if you have a stove with an oven, the possibilites are endless...

i would use the toaster, the forman, and the hot plates for most of my stuff. get some bread with alot of protien in it, grill some chicken on the forman and make a sandwich. or im sure you can buy some tuna steaks and throw them on their too. for breakfast im not really sure i usually just make eggs but something tells me that you cant do that in a toaster or a forman grill

WantingMuscle7 07-14-2005 06:56 AM

lol grilled eggs. Whole wheat bagels I have got like 12 grams of protien each I suppose only bad thing is the carbs but if you threw on some tuna like 30+ grams of protien then.

BG5150 07-14-2005 07:25 AM

You can make scrambled eggs in the microwave, can't you? (I've never tried--I've always had access to a cafeteria or a stove in college...

WantingMuscle7 07-14-2005 08:39 AM

Oh yea your right I use to have like a plastic egg thing you crack it open into it put the lid over it and bam I prefer cooked over a stove though you could just drink it raw.

My Favorite Eggs
 
My favorite way to cook eggs is 6 egg whites and 2 yolks in a bowl and beat it together put some pepper with it and toss it in the microwave for couple minutes and Walla BANG you got some great tasting eggs. Just make sure to cover the bowl the eggs get like 3X as big when you NUke them

I just got done with college, before I give you some advice are you living in a dorm or house/apt on campus?

When I tried college before the Corps I used to have a community stove located in a centralized area, complete with pots and pans. Try and buy a few dozen eggs and hard boil them. Eat 6 in the am and 6 in the pm. Other than that you could also cook a few pounds of hamburger meat at once and store it to mix later. I used to mix that with microwavable mac and cheese. Cottage cheese and tuna are also excellent easy to manage foods. You can also microwave water to add to your oats.

rimple 07-15-2005 07:32 PM

HAHAH:)

Yeah NUKE them! I love it!

I have actually tried the microwaved version of scrambled eggs. They tend to have a raw smell into them, which they kind of loose when you fry them up. I have seen Big Apple Baggels use their NUKE Machine (Microwave :) ) when they do eggs.

The thing is that I have to put my ass in gear and put some more attention to my breakfast. I live in a conference center, it's part of the campus but not a residence life. The deal is that I am almost done so I could not sign a lease, so.

Looks great, but one thing, I hate tuna, my room is small and it stinks every time I eat tunna. I am moving to chicked and mozarrela all the way. I am going to get some cottege cheese for sure too, some peaces, hmm yes.

Thanks guys!

I thought peanut butter had a lot of fat?

Yes, but it's GOOD fat.

Hopefully you don't mean for him to get regular peanut butter. Make sure you get the all NATURAL kind. Regular peanut butter is something like 40% peanuts and the rest hydrogenated oils = bad fat. Regular peanut butter is god damn awful for you.

It will take a while to get used to natural peanut butter because the oil and solids seperate so you have to stir it unless you keep it refridgerated. Still, go light on it and only use it for a snack every now and then unless you are trying to bulk up, cause it is loaded with calories. I can't even touch regular peanut butter anymore, its tastes awful to me compared to the real thing.

WantingMuscle7 07-18-2005 03:19 PM

For me anyway its much easier to stir when its warm. I started all natural after my mom wanted to go all natural food. Like now that jiff stuff or w/e is gross.

verbatimreturned 07-18-2005 04:54 PM

oh yea sorry lol buy only natural peanut butter...ive been so used to the whole nature thing i just consider it regular my dad found out about partically hydrogenated oils so theres like 1 food product in my house that has it, its become one of the reasons weather he buys something or doesnt. i find that in most cases its been good for me for instance these wraps that he buys from costco (i use them with most of my meals, as bread or to replace sandwhich bread) they contain 10 grams of protien in each serving, im sure a piece of white bread is no where near that :)

Lived on a microwave and george foeman for 3 years easy to do.
A good breakfast and I mean good takes 2 minutes to make
Bowl of oatmeal not the instant type cook in microwave for two minutes add a big tablespsoon peanut butter I use natural to stay away from the paritally hydro fat. Spoon of honey, Banana nuts almonds etc, you can add what you want two scoops protein and there you have it about 900 to 1000 calories packed with protein fiber good carbs to help make you grow. I own a sports supplements site and sell wholesale on the net not that it makes me a expert on the subject. :D

Yeah, I just spent like 100% bucks today. I stopped at Wallmart and got those wheet wraps. They say they have 14 grams of protein. I also bought some wheet noodles. They are great too. I also love the natural wheet noodles you get from Pick N' Save
