Better than me 🙁 I can't pay the the water bill and so I can't use the toilet. I also can't afford food. Leaves only one option 🙁

I once ate 72 Wings at a local Buffalo Wings place at my old college. I only stopped because the last batch was their hottest flavor and I filled up on about 64-96 ounces of water after eating two of those suckers.

I got hungry about an hour later and ate a whole carton of chocolate covered cherries, and then later I had a small snack of fries.

Of course I was lifting a lot of weights at the time and playing a lot of basketball, plus at the time I had the metabolism of a horse, so it wasn't that bad at the time.

The year after though, I got seriously injured playing sports and I ballooned out because I couldn't be my active self for about a full year, and even after that I didn't fully recover for another 1-2 years. Now I seriously watch what I eat. No fast food, no soft drinks... of course I have a bad sweet tooth, so I still go through candy really quickly. 😉

I worked full time through most of college so I wasn't starving....but before I started up a REAL job, I was making $5.41 an hour and only working 20hrs/week. Money was tight so I hit a discount grocery and picked up boxes of cheap pasta (Rotini, elbow macoroni, ziti, etc) I then bought small cans of seasoned diced tomatoes and a few bags of shredded cheese. Not counting the cheese, I was able to cook a 16oz box of pasta and have sauce for it all for around $0.75. A box would usually last me 2 meals.

Healthy choices are canned beans. Pork & Beans with BBQ sauce. 3/$1 if you buy from discount places.....ad a few tablespoons of BBQ sauce @ $1 per cheap bottle.... This meal won't fill you up longer than a few hours, but you can live on it, and it's virtually fat free.

Poop in a bowl, eat your poop, repeat.

I follow around the same method, we have a winco here and they do a lot of bulk food. you can get a 1lb bag of pasta for less than a buck.

I eat way too much pizza and fast food. Lately, I've been making more sandwiches with lots of greens though!

i lost 10 lbs, lol

I was wayy too into sweet cereals, cafeteria deserts, chicken and cheese quesadias.
And of course FAST FOOD, I would eat it all the time, and I used to eat fries and fried stuff and not care as much, and mcflurries.

I still eat out a bunch, but i pick better stuff. i think its cuz im less stressed now.

What I mainly ate in college was sandwiches, it was pretty cheap just to buy some bread, pepperoni, salami, ham, and cheese (my ghetto version of the Subway Italian BMT). Sometimes I'll buy some hotdogs and buns, hotdog buns are pretty good alternatives to sliced bread for those sandwiches too. Or if I'm really being cheap, I'll just a bag of popcorn as a meal for a day or week even, or just buy a case of ramen for the month. Soo basically I saved a ton of money by eating alot less (that money was used for beer and other stuff like bowling or movies), kept my weight stable even though I was drinking a massive amount of Coke, its funny how Soda is usually cheaper than water, and barely gained any weight... I actually lost weight being in college.

Chicken cordon bleu, pot roast, pork chops, parmesean chicken, homemade mashed potatoes...

Living off campus, with a full sized fridge and a stove, is pretty nice. 😀

Definitely. Dorm rooms for the loss.
