If your college dinning hall is anything like the others i've been in, you have plenty of meal choices. here are some suggestions to get you started packing on some mass.

It will be hard to count macro nutrient breakdowns at school, so forget them. But do your best to balance each meal with high protien, medium carbs, medium fats. For example, at breakfast, double or triple the usual egg portion, throw in some beacon, and some whole wheat toast.

Bring a back pack, and stash away fruits, veggies, and sandwiches for in between caf visits. dont be shy, take as much with you as you can.

eat till your full, then eat a little more. I've said it before and i'll say it again "are you eating while your reading this? cause you should be"

At 6'1" 155lbs you wont need to worry about fat gain, but you do need to worry about what quality foods your eating. Doritos and nacho cheese may not make you get fat, but they sure as hell arent good mass building foods either. Stick to quality carbs, pasta, whole wheat breads, cereals. Quality protiens like eggs (scrambled, hard boiled), chicken, fish, lobster (j/k). And make sure you taking in fats through the day, I'd spend the 8 bucks a month on some fish oil caps.

Proper pre and post workout nutrition is a must. Invest in a good but cheap whey protien and some dextrose. down 30-40g protien and 40-50g dextrose both pre and post workout. (on the pre drink it 30 to 45min prior so you dont puke while lifting) and the post drink directly after. Others may disagree about the amount of protien and carbs in the shakes. chime in here guys, i'm not skinny nor have i ever been, so my numbers are different then what his should be.

I hope this helps get you started eating for mass.
