School is barely as long as a full day's work. Take the time to make good food. You will have better health and morale.

What kind of kitchen facilities and cookware do you have access to? Like are you in a dorm without a stove and oven or do you are least have the basic pots, pans, knives, stove, oven?

I feel bad for yall youngins that have to eat trash just to survive what should be a genuinely wholesome experience. I cooked well in my school years. I have no advice to offer for "cheap and quick" meals. If you have fridge space, I'd say a dutch oven full of good chilli will last you many days and is cheap and easy and fairly quick. A croc pot is also an option for chilli that you can keep on low heat for days and days to always have a hot meal.

check out ProHomeCook's 15 minute dinners on youtube. the cherry-tomato skillet pasta sauce is a basic recipe I've been playing around with lately. channel in general does a good job with basic-principles of cooking if you're a beginner.
also, whatever your basic proteins/staples, microwave steaminbag veggies are a wonder of the modern era. cheap instant side-dish to pad out a meal and add some nutrition.

Idiot kid just removed the handle
dumbfuck little piece of shit faggot

Get a starch/ grain that’s been cooked and store it in your fridge, That’s a cheap thing to get most of your calories in, unless meat is cheap where you are I would only stick to the dirt cheap stuff like frozen prawns or sausages. Make sauces with protein and store them in a separate container to be ready to reheat and add them to the starch.
Curry is nice with rice and is dirt cheap.
Shitty sausages can be cheap too and you can use the meat as many different things like meatballs, taco meat, Patties etc.
if you don’t have enough money to buy different breads get all purpose flour, yeast and lard/ butter and make your own noodles, breads, tortillas, pitas etc. can be stored and reheated.
Getting a bag of flour is way cheaper than buying different breads if you wanna diversify your foods.
Also lentils, you could 100% survive on just lentil soup

Meal prepping my dude
Just take your time every sunday to cook something decent in a large enough amount and make it last through the rest of the week.
Particularly if you go for poverty tier food you can keep it really cheap. Timewise you might put in 2-ish hours for the whole batch but the rest of the week when you're shit tired it's 5 minutes in the microwave and wala

Japanese curry.
get a box of it (glico or golden brand is typical)
cut a carrot and potato. cut an onion into quarters.
get onion brown in hot oil. add carrot and potato and cover in water. could also microwave them to give them a head start. Cook till done and add curry sauce and frozen peas. Serve on rice.

Eat like your ancestors did.
Cheap fish like trout, dried beans of various types, whole grain bread will fill you up. Hard boiled eggs, homemade mayonnaise, pork sausage. Look up Russian cuisine that shits for homeless people.
