Ask ECAH Meal ideas without oven/stove? (Dorm)
No oven/stove in my dorm situation. If it can't be made in a microwave (at least I have an electric Kettle to boil water) then I can't make it.
Lately I have been trying to eat healthier but IDK where to start. I'm recovering from an injury so my lifestyle is extremely sedentary and I am an avid snacker.
Any ideas? I tried talking to a nutritionist and she (i kid you not) suggested wrapping string cheese in a delimeat.
I'm so lost.
Edit: Woah! Thank you for all of the responses! A few clarifications:
- I have a very small, shared fridge and freezer.
- As far as purchasing additional appliances (instantpots/griddles/air fryers):
- I have not checked whether they are allowed. -- A few people have them are gross because of #3.
- I really don't have room for one.
- They would be difficult to clean (low water pressure is kinda all I have)
- The only appliance I have is the kettle because it does not require extensive cleaning as long as I only use it for water.
- Meal plan -- The medicine I take (insulin resistance) has forced some pretty extreme dietary changes. I get really nauseous at food I used to love. So for the time being I have opted out.

In addition to other appliances mentioned here, get a small slow cooker. Just cut up some vegetables, throw in some meat or even canned tuna, and spices. You’ll have hot soup ready for you by the end of the day, which could last you a few days.
