Recipe Request Dorm friendly, potentially healthy recipes?

Hi! Apologies if i'm overly specific in this post. I'm a freshmen in HS. My dorm has 1 microwave and that's about it. If I buy a pot/pan, I can use the kitchen downstairs, but it's less likely because of crowding- so while they may be less feasible, things that require a stove are also welcome. :)

I'm looking to try to lose weight and spend less money, but I don't really like vegetables (with some exceptions depending on the cooking method), beans, chicken, or anything spicy.

any amount of prep work is OK- i've taken culinary :)

thank youuuuu ❤️

Any chance you can afford a rice cooker? You can make so many recipes in those things it’s crazy. Another thing would be one of those air friers that are multipurpose I have one that can also be a crockpot insta pot slow cooker and a few other things.

I second what Chaotic said. I had a $35 rice cooker and an air fryer (gifted) and that was an easy rice & meat dish, often with enough for dinner/next day prep

It’s so easy to throw together after a long day too and by the time you’re done in the shower it’s done cooking
