Tip 1 : President's Choice Will Save You

I just finished my first full day on campus with my goal in mind. Not to buy any food on uwo territory for one week.
I must admit I failed today, I bought a chocolate milk.
BUT , I also made progress by bringing one of my favourite low cost meals to school.


Behold ....The President's Choice Microwaveable dinner...


I know there is a stigma attached to microwaved dinners , but these are not the nasty Hungry Man meals that you have in mind. My Mom actually recommended them to me (and she can be somewhat of a food snob at times). They come in a variety of meals from Chicken Szechwan , Ginger Glazed Chicken and Linguine with Shrimp Marinara.


I usually grab one from the grocery store near my bus stop before class, and they only cost an average of $2.50!

Today I had
Roasted Vegetable Lasagna




Made with roasted eggplant, zucchini, red and yellow peppers, ricota and partly skim mozzarella cheese in a tomato sauce

--> low fat, low cal
--> source of fibre and iron and calcium


240 cals, 6gs of fat
Microwave for 10 minutes


Most buildings on campus have microwaves, so just keep your eye out for them next time you're walking around.
