How to have a good diet in a B&B
Discussion
After some advice. Due to a massive cock-up I have been living in a B&B for the past few weeks and it looks like there will be at least another month of this until I can move into my flat.
So how do I eat well during this time? Breakfast isn't a problem as I have fruit at work. Lunch is also okay as I can have jacket potato or burger etc (this has become more of a problem as they are currently renovating the kitchen and so we only have access to BBQ, sandwiches of jacket potato, not the healthiest of meals).
My biggest issue is the evening meal. I've been having Tesco sandwiches so far but I'm fed up of this now so what else can I have? I don't have any method of cooking apart from a microwave from the 1800's, which to be quite honest, I don't trust to not blow up. To add a couple more issues into the mix, I am lactose intolerant and so dairy is a no-go, and I am training for a triathlon in 6 weeks time so could do with protein and carbs.
I have a Tesco and Sainsbury's near me, not too sure what else but it's in Brentwood if that helps at all.
Any help is much appreciated.

chickens, Lurpak and Crusty bread.Figure out what time of day the spit roast stuff gets reduced in your biggest, localest supermarket. Bread tends to get cheap at the same time (as do the bags of pre-cut salad leaves).
Big, fresh, tasty sandwiches with proper fillings for not much dosh.
Uncle bens micro-rice is actually quite edible, little bit of left over shredded spit roast from said reduced chicken and a splash of chilli sauce/soy you're laughing.

I know you said you don't trust the microwave but they're very good. No need for water....you can cook veggies or heat/cook chicken, prawns, meat in them too.
I often use them at work. Uncle Ben's instant brown rice, some baby sweetcorn, broccoli in a bag and some proetien of whatever takes your fancy.
If you don't trust the microwave buy one....you can get them for £30 or £40 looking at th Argos website.

The link takes me to the homepage but I can see they are microwable bags, they look a good idea actually. All these certainly beat the sandwiches and donughts I'm having at the moment http://www.ocado.com/product/57202011?name=PolyLin...
