I hope there are many out there that can relate. I am a college student living in a dorm (well an off campus house) but still I do not have a kitchen or any such amenities. Keeping a steady diet is seemingly more complicated that I assumed it would be. I am forced to be on a meal plan so I am trying to make the best of the meals that I am being "forced" to buy. The food court has a Quizno's where I usually get a ham\turkey\roast beef\cheese sandwich on whole wheat. This comprises anywhere from 2-3 meals of my day. I buy low sodium turkey breast (cold cuts) and whole wheat bread and make sandwiches out of that for 1-2 extra meals and then I just try and fulfill nutrient requirements during the buffet style dinner's that they offer at night. I am still adjusting to a new regime and I will get it down. My girlfriend's campus house is close to mine and she has a large kitchen on her floor. I can cook there if i wanted but its less time consuming to just live off of the sandwiches.
My diet basically looks like this as of now:
1.) Breakfast 8:00am: 4-5 scoops UP YOUR MASS-MHP
2.) 10:30: 7-8oz low sodium turkey on 3 slices of whole wheat bread or Quizno's sandwich described above.
3.) 1:00pm "same as 2"
4.) 3:30pm "same as 2"
5.) 5:30-6:00pm "whatever I can scavenge up from the dinner buffet"
6.) 7:45pm: 60-100g carbs from oats+50g whey protien
7.)9:30pm: 70-100g carbs from complex\simple carbs (depending on current goal) + 50g whey
8.) 1-2tbsp natty flax enriched pb on 1 slice Whole wheat bread+ 1-2 cups milk+ 25-50g whey.
It's quite doable. It should provide the right nutrients in the right proportions for now at least.
ANYWAY: what i would really like to hear is current or former college students who have tips or helpful information as to how they progressed as a bodybuilder under the typical college life restrictions.
