Help me with my on the go diet.....

[TheRock713]

Okay so I'm in law school now and spend all day on campus in the city. I still work out Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun and run 2-5 miles on each of those days as well. I'm trying to cut again (I'm about 8 pounds heavier than my picture), and I'm struggling with what to eat on a budget. I eat an egg white omelet in the morning with steel cut oats, so I'm good there. But I'm on campus from 7:00am-7:00pm. I have gone days where I eat practically nothing, but end up binging at night or worse feeling like my legs want to give out when I run afterwords, so I know this is an awful idea (Of course I knew that all along). I don't have the time or money to go to subway or jimmyjohns every day like the others, also, I'm not a big meal guy. I try to eat something small every 2-3 hours. I've done PB sandwiches (bring 2, eat half of one every couple hours. Still leaves me hungry, but feel "pudgy" when I'm "on" PB and bread) I've done canned chicken (no carbs), I've done Cliff bars (Sugary, not a ton of Protein). I've brought 3 or 4 protein bars but feel like this isn't really healthy. I've done ham, egg, cheese sandwiches but again I'm sort of bread-phobic. I've done a can of almonds, a serving every couple hours. I feel my situation is complicated because I'm determined to cut for summer but only have limited workout time so the diet has to be spot on.

Any simple suggestions for meals would be great. Any bars that aren't a bad option (I feel most "satisfied" after eating bars...). Bread phobia unjustified? I know....calories in vs. out. Anyways...any thoughts would be great. I went with the "I just don't know what to eat so screw it i'm not eating today" plan and had the worst run ever earlier....legs were jello, felt overall AWFUL...

Yes, bread phobia unjustified, but if you don't like it don't eat it. Look into wraps instead? Also home-made protein bars are always good, you can add what you want and make the macros fit your needs easily. Look into Intermittent Fasting? Might fit your schedule and make eating easier for you.

Can always keep oats in a shaker cup, add water and microwave for a quick meal (remember to bring an eating utensil).
