1. TV dinners are ass terrible, but at the same time options as a starving college student are sadly limited. Try eating stuff like sandwiches(grilled cheese, tuna, traditional turkey), baked potatoes, cereal/skim milk(any time is a good time for cereal) whenever you can. Buy a shitton of fruit and snack liberally on it. I like to buy bananas and kiwis in bulk, they're good to eat frozen solid if you slice 'em thin. 2. Never under 1600. Any less and you fuck your metabolism, the weight loss ends up plateauing HARD, you'll generally feel like shit, the list goes on. As for snacking, branch out when you go shopping and try veggies and fruits that you haven't tried before. Also I tend to save a quarter of whatever I eat for full meals and snack on it later. 3. Beg your parents to buy you a gym membership. It's a safe place place to workout, and the presence of other people really motivates you to try your best. Call it a Christmas/birthday present, anything. Honestly I can't think of a much better way to spend money than on a well used gym membership. Treadmills, stationary bikes, elliptical machines, stairmasters, usually a pool for swimming, there are countless options for cardio at the gym, you'll never get bored. Who knows, you might snag a buff guy if you're looking for some lovin', lol. 4&5. Two pounds a week is the accepted healthy limit to weight loss, so you're right on track there. If you were losing more I would be worried and suggest you either curtail your diet/routine or visit a physician. Don't weigh yourself every day, it just adds unnecessary stress and the daily number means absolutely nothing. The fluctuation could be anything from water weight, whatever you have in your stomach at that exact moment, what clothes you're wearing, how long you've been awake that day, the list goes on. Weigh yourself at the end of every week if you must, every two weeks would probably be better.
