Eating healthy...... getting fat is overrated
This is my first year in college and the freshman 15 is owning the ---- out of me.
I used to play hockey 4 times a week and worked out once a week or so.
Now I sit around a lot and hold down my couch.
I've been working out a bunch and going to the gym 3 ish times a week, I want to get in better shape though. My diet is awful and i want to make it better. I buy my own food by the way (im not in a dorm)
I don't want to spend more than is necessary on food and i want to buy stuff that will last. (as opposed to a box of hot pockets that will go missing in a week)
Whats some good food to buy thats relatively easy to prepare and is better for me than nachos and chilli?

Re: Eating healthy...... getting fat is overrated
Carbohydrates and Proteins.
Pasta/chicken/vegetables/fruits make up a lot of my diet. Besides the occasional fast food I have.
Weight lifting is going to do next to nothing if you're getting fat. You need to keep your body in an aerobic state a few times a week. Try to do an hour a day, three days a week. Lifting will bulk you up, but it just takes up your glycogen stores if you don't keep your heart rate up. Once your body goes into an aerobic state, you start to burn fat. Ever seen a fat runner/swimmer?
On a regular day I limit my fat intake to <10%. I eat a ton of protein since I lift 4 days a week. I typically run 5-7 miles a week as well. I'm sitting at 5' 11", 195 pounds and 8 % body fat.
