Healthy College Diet?
 
I’ve been reading the Training & Nutrition forum for a while now trying to make an efficient pescetarian diet. I’m a 22-year-old college student in NYC who rides fixed gear or walks to work (about 11 miles to and fro), swims 5 or 6 times a week (2000-3000 yards) and rides fixed in my free time (5-10 miles, sometimes up to 30 or more). Since money is tight I have quite a minimal array of food in my house.

black, red and garbanzo beans (canned Goya not dried)
wheat bread
natural peanut butter
white rice
canned tuna
tahini (for home made hummus)
wheat flour
veggies (carrots (for fresh carrot juice) onion, garlic, tomato, peppers (from bell to habanero))
olive oil
fat free milk
eggs

I’m trying to eat as healthy as possible… is there anything I’m missing or should remove?

About $20 a week.

Haha, you're doing all right if you're not living off of Ramen

I say as long as your're getting good grades, you should eat whatever you want, drink as much beer as you want, and sleep when you want (if you want). You can deal with all "real life" crap after you graduate. For now enjoy yourself..this is the best time to do it.

natural peanut butter, cheap too. Mix a little in with some lemon juice, coconut milk and curry paste.

"Healthy" Ramen Recipie for the College Student

prepare 1 brick ramen noodles. throw away the flavored MSG packet. Add 1 can drained tuna that was packed in water. Add enough black pepper and/or hot sauce to mask/enhance flavor of the noodles and fish. Stir. Eat.

For a gourmet flair or when trying to impress that special someone, use albacore tuna and serve on real (not paper) plates.

My mother always told me there is a time and place for everything, and it's called college.

Therefore, my "healthy" college student diet typically consisted of...

1. Eggs, toast and a small beer for breakfast.
2. Doritos and a large beer for lunch.
3. And, beer with a side of beer for dinner.

which school do you go to in nyc?

Do you eat fruit?

I like ramen without the "flavor packet" and with some cheap tomato sauce. Almost reminds me of spaghetti. Is chicken a good alternative to fish? I have been eating a lot of salmon and tuna, didn't remember about the mercury. No more fish for me!

A good way to get good fats while living on the all pasta diet (im there right now) is to eat a granola and hemp seed cereal, they taste pretty good and theyre damn good for yah. Lots of carbs and omega-3's.

Ew what the heck.

Just ate a quesadilla. nyc college student here.

moore.speed 07-05-05 08:19 AM

Just read online that two servings a week of chunk light tuna (not albacore) are ok, and 1 serving of canned salmon is ok.


Ew what the heck.
Hey, cheap is the name of the game :)

tofu's a cheap source of protien.
mushrooms contain micronutrients
flax seed oil is good for omega 3's
brown rice is way more nutritious than white. takes forever to cook though.
and although I never use it, I've got friends who swear by nutritional yeast. It's supposed to be a good source of protien and b vitamins.

any supermarket will have it. Look either where the fresh veggies are or in the Asian section.

beekay 07-05-05 11:51 PM

A package of tofu (16oz ) costs a dollar or two depending on where you buy it.
