[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is wild to me. My parents had no idea what I ate while I was at college, or where I ate. [/quote]

OP here. I know, right? when I went to college my parents just paid the bill and I ate at the dining hall, until I moved into a dorm that had a kitchen and then I had meal plan 7 meals per week but took care of my own breakfasts and lunches.

But the dining hall at my college had pretty good food.

My son, on the other hand, says the dining hall food is really bad, and he's spending money to find other options. He's asked to move down to 10 meals per week and have me give him the difference so he can buy groceries. Unlimited versus 10 meals per weel is a big difference - about $1000.

And then, he asked my advice for some healthier meal options he could shop for and prepare for, because here at home he has a toaster oven and a stove, but in his dorm room he doesn't. He thought maybe as his mom, someone who had a lot of experience cooking and planning meals, I might have some suggestions for him.

I know it's crazy that a young adult ask a parent for their advice! And crazier to ask on dcum for ideas from people who may have had a similar experience.. but there it is. I've been on this forum quite a while and have adked for and given advice on all sorts of topics.
