Eat well away from home
You may not control the menu, but you can usually make the next choice more useful. Ask what equipment and storage are available.
In the cafeteria or dining hall
Build from a familiar protein, carbohydrate and produce option. Get enough food for the time before the next meal. Keep a snack for the gap between classes and practice.
In a small kitchen
A microwave-safe bowl, can opener, basic pan and clean container support many recipes here. Confirm dorm or hotel appliance rules. Use equipment you know how to operate safely.
At a hotel or convenience store
Look for ordinary combinations: bread with a safe spread and fruit, or a refrigerated yogurt with cereal. Buy perishables only when you can keep them cold or eat them promptly.
With the team
Check allergies, timing, food access and refrigeration before travel. Ask support staff about individual medical or dietary needs. A little planning makes it easier to eat enough without relying on unfamiliar products.
