Student Meals

[wakey]

right I'm a student at university and I want to shift some weight.

Only problem is having a healthy diet as fruit and veg are expensive and go off rather quickly and i'm not a great fan of most veg so i'm looking for cheapish easy things to make. I don't have a shop nearby so really just using basic stuff.

Any help greatly appreciated

Oats, rice, pasta, protein powder, peanut butter etc can all be bought in bulk and very cheap prices mate.

Get some big bags of frozen veg, not as good as fresh obviously but cheaper, convenient and you're more likely to eat them if they are sitting in the freezer waiting.

Get some exercise.

Frozen veg often has more nutrients than fresh

aye but the texture goes weird. I'd still recommend them though rather than getting veg which may go off.

Go to aldi or a greengrocers. It's cheaper to eat well than eat crap.

Big tubs of peanut butter in Holland & Barret for a fiver each.

You can get big bags of frozen corn on the cob for less than a quid at ASDA, taste lush grilled.

Do you have a freezer? You could cook big pots of things like bolognaise, chilli, curries etc then freeze the extra portions in freezer bags. That way you can buy the veg and use it on the day so it doesn't go off.
