SRO cooking means fewer options, but there are still ways to prepare healthy meals.

"I don't have any space in my room to store food."

  • Store your produce correctly so you have more room in any fridge space available to you. Produce like onions, avocados, and apples can be stored outside the fridge.
  • Choose canned and dried goods. Dried beans and canned fish are affordable and healthy sources of protein. Fresh meat can take up too much room in a fridge.
  • Set up shelves with materials like milk crates so you have more room to store non perishable items.
  • Use any fridge space you do have to store healthy items. Don't waste space with sugary beverages.
