Eating right while one is in college can be a very difficult task. Food courts, access to parents' money, and lack of time all point to a unhealthy, fast food filled diet. But with the right small tweaks and grocery purchases, eating right can become immensely easier.
One key thing that not many people talk about is meal preparation, meal preparation can be done in about an hour (give or take) while you are just sitting around watching football on a Sunday afternoon. The possibilities are endless, I recommend cooking up about 6 chicken breasts in the oven or the same quantity of fish. This should last through the week and provide numerous good meals in as little as an hour. Then for a side dish, even though this may not be the MOST healthy thing it is still beneficial for one's body, you can microwave frozen vegetables or rice etc, to have a quick but nutritious side dish. Another great food that can be made to last for a week is beans. Beans are very cheap for a large quantity and about 12 servings can be cooked on the stove top in an hour.
These foods are designed to be cost effective, healthy, and time efficient, just what every driven college student is looking for.
