1) Anyone know some good ways to get adequate nutrition with a busy schedule? I'm taking 19 credit hours this semester, all STEM, have a 60 minute round trip commute, my school has no meal plan and the food is overpriced as fuck, and I spend basically 12 hours on campus every day, either in class or studying.
So I'm not eating properly, and I can feel it. I'm sore for 2-3 days instead of 0-1, and if I don't wait 2-3 days between working a muscle group my results are seriously diminished because they're not fully recovered from the last workout.
I'm basically eating like 1600 calories a day, and eating them ALL in one meal: Dinner.
How can I fix that as a broke, overworked college student?
2) I've got misaligned patellas. They track slightly more outward than they should, so any movement with bending of the knees causes some discomfort, and lifting causes serious pain and inflammation. Is there any way to work around this? Maybe by icing before and after lifting? I don't want to wreck my knees but not being able to deadlift or squat is killing me.

You know the answer already, why bother asking? You just need to bring food with you to snack on throughout the day.

I suspected that might be part of the answer, but what do I bring? I can't bring anything that spoils without refrigeration, so no chicken breast or greek yogurt.
Which segues into the other question: What's cheap that I can do this with? Sure I can buy bulk potato chips from a Sam's Club or Costco and snack on that all damn day, but carbs alone won't do much for me. Most protein foods with stability tend to spoil. Jerky is all that comes to mind and I'm not even a huge fan of it, and it can be costly.

Your knees will probably get better as the muscles around them strengthen. Try low weight/higher rep leg extensions and leg curls, and maybe some low impact cardio like a stationary bike, see where that takes you.
Or, you know, ask an actual sports medicine doctor for advice instead of strangers on a Nepalese finger painting newsletter.
