Surprisingly some oven meals are not hard to do and though may take maybe an hour to cook are nutritious. Try pork chops lay them in the baking pan and season with pepper, garlic or whatever...pour in a bit of water and lay foil over the pan. Bake about 1 hr at about 350. We serve that with mixed veges and rice or scalloped potatoes. You can also roast a chicken in the oven and if you are alone there will be enough for lunch the next day or using differently the next night. Ask anytime if you have a cut of meat and wish to get an idea to use!

Well if you are really short on time, there are prepackaged meals from the freezer aisle of the grocery store. They pretty much just need to be heated in the microwave. Because of the sodium content and such, they aren't VERY healthy if eaten too much, but as far as I know they are still more healthful than fast food. As for soda, I used to always be drinking soda, but too much caffeine can affect your health, plus if you get used to caffeine, it may stop any effectiveness it would have in helping perk you up. Almost anything that isn't water will have sugar in it, but juice (and to a point sports drinks) will be better than soda. Oh...and the artificial sweeteners that are in products such as diet soda are NOT good for you, based on the news I've heard...in some people they have caused problems such as MS. Based on what I know, you should stick with the real sugar! Hope this helps!

What if you made meals in advance? I have an Uncle who makes his meals on Sunday. He makes everything he needs to last him for the week. That way you don't have to spend time every day cooking. Your mom is right about the fast food - it's really bad for you. I used to eat it all the time too, now I try and cook more. I use recipes from www.cooks.com. They have great ones!

I say go to the Frozen foods and get some LEAN CUISINE!!!!! There Cheap , tasty and Healthy!!!!!Oh and Fast!!!

I'm a college guy too and I also have very little time to cook. If you're a snacker throughout the day, the best tip I can give you is that anything with 30% or more of a substance (fat, vitamins, etc) are considered high in it. Anything with I believe 5% or less is considered low in it. Next time you run to the store look for snakcs that are low fat, low sodium, and slightly higher in protein and vitamins on the nutrition label. Lately a lot of the prepackaged foods are startign to shift flavoring their foods with dried herbs rather than with salts and oils which will make things easier for you. Also, f you have a nbatural foods store or coop nearby, go there they will have healthy instant meals and snacks, and the people who usually work there are well versed in nutrion.

Boiled Egg...thats one of my favourite.

I not that much of a cook either, but luckily i live with two sisters who can cook. I hope you find fin some good suggestion from this discussion that you have started.

Spagetti is something easily and quickly made. Scrambled eggs is another. Chef Salads (made with lunch meat and prepackaged salad mix). It's good that you're trying! Good Luck with it!

If you really cant get away with fast foods,why not try buying fresh vegetable salad in a grocery store.there are many now that are conveniently packed and ready to eat.some salads packs already contain their own dressing,so,WALLAH!,ready to eat frash and healthy food,try it now ,there are a lot of varieties being sold!
