Hi all, After entering college I have found a serious problem..... Getting enough protein! I am on the meal plan so best case scenario I only have access to 3 or 4 easy meals a day make that 2-3 if pushing back breakfast by several hours like the book says. In this situation does anyone have anything easy to make/dorm friendly that could be used to fill up the protein holes? Carbs is not a problem for the backloads as they have all you can eat pizza for dinner.
Your not supposed to be eating meals all through out the day. This is not a body building routine, and your only supposed to be getting 1.3 (on the high end) of protein per pound of body weight a day. Thats not to hard to get in 1 meal, maybe 2 meals and your backload. Not to mention post workout shake!

+1 I can understand difficulty getting it for an ULC day but with CBL that shouldn't be problems. Use whey PWO and with the PWO meals.
I used to boil entire cartons of eggs and keep them in tupperware containers in my dormroom fridge.

This is a great idea, maybe some beef jerky, or random strips of bacon.
My go to high protein power snacks are smaller portions of chicken, turkey, salmon, mackerel, grass-fed meat… things like that because protein holds me over for a while. Pea protein and rice bran protein are also good if you're vegan. I wouldn't recommend WHEY protein at all!!
when i dormed i only had about 1 large meal between my morning coffee and my workout (3:30 pm). Just a salad, and grilled chicken with olive oil (unless they had beef or something better available). i woke up around 10ish everyday, so if you're up earlier you can definitely squeeze in two meals. Then id just have my post workout shake, a huge dinner, and then i had cereal and other snacks in my room to make up the rest of the back load. .8-1.3g of protein per pound is really easy to get in with just like 4 meals (including a shake).
