I'm looking for meal and food suggestions for someone that's living in barracks with the restrictions that entails. It's no so much about doing it on a budget, but if I'm spending over $400 a month, I might as well go back on ration strength. The trouble with ration strength is the limited hours and paying for meals that you aren't here for (I go home a lot on weekends, etc.). Also, although I stick to more or less healthy foods in the mess, the buffet all-you-can-eat style usually mean I over do it with the idea of 'getting my money's worth".
The limitations of the barracks is that fridge and freezer space is quite limited, the only appliances at my disposal are a microwave and a (prohibited) George Foreman type grill, and meal preparation space is a little bit cramped.
since moving in, I've been pretty much living on sandwhichs, grill cheese, and hamburgers for lunch and dinner. For breakfast it' usually a banana, yogurt and natural choice (er, yeah) granola bar.
I'm also a big snacker and usually try to eat something healthy, but it doesn't always work.
Anyway, every time I head to the groccery store I go blank and get the usual crap. I'm not much of a cook or very knowledgable able food in general and was hoping for long lists of easy suggestions to follow.
