About Dorm Room Meals

Dorm‑friendly meals should be quick, affordable, and balanced—made with no cooking at all or just a microwave. Think yogurt parfaits with fruit and nuts, microwave “mug” omelets, bean‑and‑grain bowls with canned tuna or chicken, and steamed‑in‑bag veggies tossed with olive oil and lemon.

Tips: pick shelf‑stable staples (pouches of grains/beans, tuna, nut butters), keep a small cutting board/knife, and lean on flavor boosters like lemon, herbs, chili flakes, and plain Greek yogurt. Aim for protein + fiber at each meal to stay satisfied.

FAQs

What tools do I need for dorm cooking?

Keep it minimal: a microwave, a mug/bowl, a basic knife, and a small cutting board. Optional: mini fridge, can opener, and a set of reusable containers.

How can I make no‑cook meals balanced?

Pair a protein (Greek yogurt, canned tuna/chicken, beans) with fiber‑rich carbs (whole‑grain pouches, oats, fruit) and add healthy fats (olive oil, nuts).
