Dorm food

[dakyum]

Hello guys and thanks for stopping by lol
I am trying to bulk up. I am 5.9" 194Lb and around 18%bf
I care about nutrition, but I never had the dedication and the knowledge to...
Now I have the dedication, but not the knowldege so I hope u guys help me out.
I live in college dorm and therefore I cant cook my own food.
The college cafe, has salads, eggs all the time.
and depending on the day it has different kinds of food.
varying from chicken, beef, pork and turkey. Sometimes they are lean cuts, but sometimes they also come fried.
There is also a Pasta place..made to order.
I could also get chicken pieces from the cafe. I dont know which part it is but its seems pretty clean and its not fried..
I usually take meals 2-3 times a day because I find it hard to goto the cafe that many times.. and i take whey protein shakes, multivitamin, creatine and mass xxx
Please advise
Thank you

1. Cut don't bulk
2. Maybe you will have to go buy food and keep it in the dorm (do you have appliances)
3. eat more than three times
4. No way to get around it = you need good quality food or else no good quality gains
5. look for whole wheat pasta or something
6. try making your food in bulk and eating it throughout the day out of a tupperware

good luck

I will not help you BULK due to the fact i dont want to be part of you getting fatter. Dont take it the wrong way but in my opinion you should be cutting. Why are you wanting to bulk?

Thx for the reply.
I just want to get bigger.. I dont know what my exact bf% but I kinda had a high bf% since the beginning of my workout life. I just had this idea in my head all the time to bulk up first and then cut. I guess I dont want to cut down and then bulk up and then cut back down...lol.
What should I do?

can you keep a microwave or mini-fridge in your dorm?

oats, sweet potatoes, brown rice, chicken, fish, turkey, lean cuts of beef, fibrous veggies, eggs....

get them. and put them in a mini fridge in your dorm room.

What kind of foods will be a good idea??
I have a fridge and there is also a microwave in the cafe that I can use...

Ok, but how do I cook them?
Do I buy precooked? to store and then just take out and eat?

You're over-thinking things now. Get yourself a foreman grill for the meat.

most of the rest of the food can be cooked in the microwave.

I suggest you spend some time reading the stickies here, at the top of the diet forum:

then posting a proposed diet for critique.
