Sport At College/Work/Away from home

Sport Fitness
I am having troubles knowing what to eat at college, since I have no cooking facilities (Cheeseburgers, sausages and chips won't fit my diet plan from the canteen lol).

Any suggestions for someone looking at a low carb intake (loosing weight)? Stuck for ideas.
 
Do you have a microwave? Anything?
 
I dont know if bread is considered low carb but my favorite is a peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread: cheap, quick, and easy
it may be pretty calorie dense but its been my "lunch" meal along with a piece of fruit while I have been losing weight
 
Cheers Sexanoe, I was considering something like that, small portion but packed full of what I need. And no, I don't have access to a microwave :(

I was thinking about something like this... Snack (11ish) mixed nuts, lunch (1ish) 2 slices of brown wholemeal bread with whatever meat I can find in the house along with some fruit. Hopefully this will be sufficient.

That doesn't sound like nearly enough food...
 
lunch meat is "processed" so you dont want to eat that every day
and if you get peanut butter definitely get natural pb
 
I mean, real meat... left over steak, chicken, real ham, whatever really. I don't eat any processed foods in my diet.

Still kind of stuck for ideas, the other foods I have in my house are snack jacks, but they don't tick with me, this "healthy" advertised food quizzes me.

(and yes, I only eat real peanut butter hehe.)
 
Who is buying your food at the house? You giving them money? go to the store and buy what you need. I guess the cash is low but you arn't getting by on others scraps....are you, let us know, that my help us help you. You say no cooking facilities, yet there is leftover meat at the house. Who cooks the meat? Buy a small grill.

buy
veg
meat
wheat bread
cottage cheese (I don't care just eat it)
yogurt

When I was in college, I used to use a small rice cooker and eat some form of canned fish (tuna, sardines). It's cheap, fast and healthy. Also, turkey sandwhiches if you can get a small fridge.

Sorry, I am not clear enough. I have all the foods I need bought for me, my family isn't in any financial problems :) I also think the term "college" must be confused from US to UK, here college is before university, your university is college? Correct me if I am wrong; to the point, I only spend 4/6 hours at college each day. To answer your question, yes I have cooking facilities at home, it's just knowing what I can take with me to eat. Usually most of my meals are cooked and eaten within my house (just had a 5month break from college, so this is all new). To simplify my question, I need to take something practical... The things you listed I can get :)

You’re are right. My misunderstanding on that.

All I can think of is to bring a small cooler with you and pack it with what you want for the day.
 
I'm a little confused on the question. You went from not being able to cook, to now you can cook but you don't know what to bring with you? If you're only away for 4 hours, you necessarily NEED anything, just a small snack. Eat a really big breakfast if you honestly have nothing to bring.

You need to break down the question though...

Can you cook at home?
What options do you have for cooking?
You're away from the house for 4-6 hours at a time? Is there a lunch break?
 
Hehe..

Yes I can cook, but not within my college... I am there from 9am-3pm, a small "snack" or large breakfast wont suffice. I cannot cook a meal before college to bring with me :S It has to be packed into a box/bag. This limits me to "good" foods which I would usually eat at home, for example; cooked eggs, large portion of salad, or cooked meat, pasta.. anything. I have to bring something equally nutritional to these meals without having to go great depths every morning, to me it's rather hard to find something equally as good that can be made quickly, like a sandwich.

I can cook at home (read above)
Yes there are lunch breaks, around 12ish.

I could probably cook some meat the night before, keep it refrigerated and eat it cold with salad in a sandwich or something. Needs to be something quick and easy.
