So I put on over 20 lean lbs in the past year or so. Had a meal plan and all, was around 153lb 5.5% bodyfat. Boxing twice a week and lifting 3 times. The question is, how do I keep gaining or atleast maintaining in the dorms? I'll have limited options for healthy foods, I'll work for some money towards buying them but realistically wont have enough for my 7 or so meals a day. And my boxing won't be there. So how can I still gain and stay lean in college? I was thinking start squating again and sprints? But I'm still lacking nutrition...
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Continue gaining in college

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Protein/weight gain shakes are useful if you find trouble to have regular caloric intake. Take up cardio based sports (eg. Soccer, fencing etc) if you have em in the college if you intend to stay lean. Though you might want to know gaining lean mass whilst staying lean is REALLY REALLY slow.
If your college has dorms I'd imagine it has a caf that serves a buffet style breakfast, lunch and dinner. A college caf is an incredibly convenient resource for putting on mass. All you can eat buffet, no food prep, no grocery shopping, no dishes to wash, no food to store. It doesn't get any easier than that. College is the place where a lot of guys starting putting on size for the first time in there life.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
We don't have that at U of A. There is a food court with restaurants and what not. From campus original cuisine to chick-fil-a. And I have a meal plan that allows $2800 a year I believe. I may work in the food court which may get me food half off which will help. But I wish we had all you can eat.
