Yes.. don't.

You look like a guy who has never trained in his life. You doing a cycle makes me want to laugh or puke.


Shame on you lazy.

i've been trying to diet but my options are somewhat limited being a college student and all.. the healtheyest things around are salad, chicken wraps, and water... any thoughts on a good diet plan for a limited college student?

Comeon mang, lots of us are in college,,, hit up a costco, BJs, or some wholesaler,, thats number one if you on a limited budget,,

[davieric]

i'm in university, if ur dedicated it doesn't matter where u are, that's just a bs excuse. if ur living at college residence or renting, it's even easier because u have complete control over what you eat, don't have 2 worry bout parents, etc. and even that's not an excuse. bottom line, if ur gonna make excuses bout y u can't have a good diet, don't bother training. i can guarantee there's at least 500 people on this forum that have a lot more to worry about than college.

it's easy....cook, eat, train and repeat.

[*Narkissos*]

Ditto...

I'm in University as well.

bullshit. Don't give us that. Im in college too and its not a problem at all. It just depends on how dedicated you want to be. Saying this makes you sound lazy. Giving college as an excuse. I.e. Where I work they dont give breaks every 2 hours like the Lowes here does...I have my food bag at my side at the register and eat every 2 hours. I dont care if i have a customer or not..I'll talk with a mouth full of food.

Anyway..stop making excuses and get it done. Stop by the diet forum.

To the cycle suggestions..see Nark's post. To be honest you barely look like you lift.

[Kale]

Yes.. don't.

Couldnt have said it better myself. Juice for this guy would be a complete waste of money. BF about 18% as well

[dhriscerr]

I go to college, own a home, am married have a kid, and I make 12k a year, and my wife makes 20k, I can do it so can you man. A dozen eggs is like 99 cents. Eggwhites are good, Boneless Skinless chicken breast are a bag for like 6 bucks with 10-12 in there, thats like .50 a breast dude. Frozen veggies bag is a buck, oatmeal is rediculously cheap. Its only what you make it man. Tuna is cheap. The only way its going to start racking up is steak and fish if you go that route. But its easy, Dont!

[I'mdoingitagin!]

Talk about badgering the witness!!! But your in a room with professionals (except me) u better listen. Hopefully college taught you how to do that!

i go to an out-of-state Private D3 University in the middle of nowhere. Any ideas for preparing healthy food while living in the dorms? cookware is limited.

[JohnboyF]

do u have a microwave?

If so u can make oats,brown rice, yams, potatoes all in the microwave

Do u have a can opener? Now u can eat chicken, tuna,salmon, turkey

Do you have outlet? Now u can buy a grill and cook chicken beef bison buffalo....

No excuses

[Eagleized2]

yes. i have and can get most of that stuff

LOL stop making excuses.

Heres all I have at school and all I need. 1 frying pan. 1 george foreman grill. Had a rice cooker but I no longer cook rice. Bunch of paper plates/bowls. All you need is a microwave, an electrical outlet..and access to a stove. Thats it. Sometimes in my dorm they will close our kitchen so ill go next door and make my food in their kitchen

No excuses.

get a george foreman, the smaller one is 20$

[Eagleized2]

well i got all that stuff.. but i think its worth a try seeing as how i go to a private d3 school to make some arrangement with the cafeteria advisor where they could cook up my diet specific meals. I think they might have something like this already but i'm not sure.. tuition cost enough.. (34k/year) so they prob do. i'm looking into it.

When I was in college I managed to eat just fine and never let myself get out of shape. I rememeber going on a rough diet where I mostly ate egg whites and salad for meals. I would go to the dining hall that was all you can eat and chose stuff that was healthy. If you want it bad enough you can make it work. No excuse for you to be blaming it on college. Willing to guess too that your exercise reigme isnt up to par either, otherwise you could deal with a less than perfect diet.

the last thing you need now is AAS.

im a colleg student too... i eat tuna... cheap.... but gets nasty... just started a 6 week tuna diet.. my last one lasted 3 and a half weeks.... trying to get lean for spring break.... well not just tuna.... tuna, protien shakes, 1/2 cup oats in the morning and 1 slice of whole wheat bread after i work out... and veggies .. that are frozen that cost 99cent.. 1-2 hours before i work out... so around 6-8 cans fo tuna a day..... at least 6.. every 2-4 hours.--sickening diet... cause you get tired of eating tuna.. but its worked for me..

[MikeCman]

Being in college, if anything you should be over eating. I've been to three diff. colleges and every one of them had 1 or even two cafe's in which you can add a meal plan to your tuition. The food is all precooked and all you have to do is show up and stuff your face. Now, I know they dont serve the healthiest food all the time but im sure you can find all the essentials (chicken) being my favorite.

[Eagleized2]

Walked into the cafeteria this morning before my 8am cardio and showed them my diet plan...
"Sure, we'll make sure this gets done for you"
i'm pretty excited.

thats great, i didnt think they would give a damn. Hope it works out. YOu must go to a small private school?

[Eagleized2]

sure do... and its like that with classes and profs too. 3 our of 4 profs give out there home phone number and 100% of them are available for 1 on 1 help... from what i hear; its not like this at big schools.

[BigJohnJPS]

I have a small rice cooker with a steamer on top.
Water and brown rice in the bottom, chicken or steak on top. 20 min later you have a fresh cooked healthy meal.
Sometimes I toss brocoli or new potatoes on top also.

I have one in my office and use it to fill in between breakfast and lunch and then another one mid-afternoon.

BTW, I also have a Food Saver to vacuum pack foods. I buy meat in large quantities and get it all out and cut it up in to strips or something. I then weight it and package it and seal them as individual servings. Once they are frozen they last for years. All it takes is a little warm water and it is ready to squeeze into a rice cooker or skillet.

NOTE: my rice cooker was $15 at target and has teflon coating. definitely you want the coating.
FWIW, this is what I do.

Like everyone says, all you need is a microwave, and a George Foreman. You could get a slow cooker too. That's all I had in the Marines for 5 and a half years. And I still was able to get all my meals in. It's not hard, just be creative.

[feloniness]

i went to a private school and we basically had 3 buffets a day....to bad i would rarely be able to eat due to wrestling. and this was in a town where the closest mcdonalds was a hour and a half away...las vegas nevada to marion alabama...not a good transition lol.

I just have a question regarding the initial thread topic. Why say no to Eaglized2's cycle? It seems that some think he is "lazy" and don't know whether to "laugh or puke", but I don't think that has answered his question. Then we went on to diet and eating properly, but again, no real answer.
So again why say no? Is it because his body isn't properly condition? Because he has'nt put in 2-3 years naturally?
I am in a similar position and was also considering some "help", obviously I am still and will most likely be doing my research for some time, thx.

Let me know if you have any ideas/ tweeks..

Glad you have decided to work on putting a diet together. It will make a huge difference. The second diet listed looks like a good place to start.
I would add some carbs pre workout for energy. A scoop of powdered oats in the whey and/or a banana would do the trick. Adjust cals as you go depending on the changes your body makes.

Doing a cycle for him would be a waste of money. He could achieve what he would with a cycle naturally.
