Alright, prove me wrong /ck/ by helping me out with this challenge.
Next year I'm moving my dorm and I want to eat healthy. What should I buy?
>high nutrient-for-dollar count
>can't shop every week--maybe only twice a month, need a lot of frozen and canned bulk foods
>lots of meal possibilities, I want to become a great cook
>no high-carb shit
Find a better and more regular source of fresh ingredients.

So...you're implying that frozen veggies aren't nutritious?
>>9252838
Soylent

Those aren't all that healthy but good idea. It'd be nice if I had an instant relatively healthy instant meal choice for emergencies.
It's possible for me to get a few fresher ingredients, but I want to get as many healthy non-fresh items as possible to get by. And if there's anything that's a must to get fresh, you have to be more specific.
Remember guys--it's a bomb shelter like situation.
I knew /ck/ would fail me. Should have known by all the junk food and bread littering the place.
>teach me how to sucessfully manage a host of ingredients/resources and hundreds of years of cooking practices over the space of a 4chan post
>nothing about how much space or what appliances are available
What the fuck do you want us to do? Tell you what to cook? Want a reacharound too while you learn, you fucking failure of an adult?
Given your conditions, you're going to need a lot of canned food and dried food. That's basic food 101. If it really was a bombshelter condition, you'd be eating MREs and hardtack.

Just get some MREs.

Huh, good points.
I'll have a nice electric stove and an oven, a blender, as well as a microwave. Anything more and I might bug my dormmates.
>>9252838
Lentils/beans, citrus, apples, oats, tuna, salmon, quinoa (pricier but worth it), eggs
>>9253366
Fuck, these meals look terrifying. Forget I ever said bomb shelter.
>>9253375
That's actually good as a basic shopping list. Thanks anon.
Also, there's only about 3 feet of countertop available and a lot more storage.

Canned salmon is a nice alternative to tuna. I also like mackerel. Some people find it too fishy, but I really like the slightly tough meaty texture.

They aren't all bad.
It depends on what you can get ahold of. Many consumer-focused alternatives are pretty nice, because they know that people are going to buy what's good, not just get what they're given, as in the military.
This one is looking promising:
