Cheap & Healthy Nigerian Student Food Timetable for A Week

Creating a week’s cheap and healthy Nigerian student food timetable can be difficult. No thanks to the consistent inflation of the prices of foodstuffs in the market.

Many Nigerian students do not have a school food timetable because most parents in Nigeria do not use food timetables at home.

You probably grew up without the ideal of a meal timetable. But a food timetable is necessary to maintain a healthy diet.

The meal plan makes to organize your schoolwork, diet and social life with ease.

Plenty of Nigerian students feed on junk which is not a healthy option.

You will find yourself eating the same food over and over again.

• Noodles
• Oil Rice
• Ice Cream
• Spaghetti
• Pizza
• Cake
• Golden Morn
• Biscuit
• Garri

All of this food is not good for your health. Eat foods that will increase your creativity and nourish your body.

In this post, I will show you examples of healthy and cheap food timetables for Nigerian students. Students at all levels, from Secondary to University, will find this post helpful.

Also, you will see how to save money on foodstuffs.

I would love to hear from you. Let me know in the comment box below if you have any questions or need further assistance.

How to Make Nigerian Student Food Timetable

Making a Nigerian student food timetable for a week involves the following processes;

• Get Breakfast Foods
• Buy Foodstuffs from The Market
• Cook Your Food
• Create A Meal Plan

Get Breakfast Foods

Provisions are good breakfast food for students in Nigeria. It is fast and easy to prepare.

It will make up the bulk of your breakfast plan because you may not have the time to prepare real food before lectures.

Though, provisions will not work for you if you like to eat heavy meals in the morning. The food may burn out before 10 am.

But try out provisions for your breakfast.

Here is a list of provisions you should get as a student;

• Cocoa Beverage (Bournvita/Milo/Ovaltine)
• Milk
• St Louis Sugar
• Carton of Indomine
• Golden Morn
• Quaker Oats
• Corn Flakes
• Custard
• Tin Milk
• Sardine
• A packet of Cabin Biscuits
• Geisha

Buy Foodstuffs from The Market

Buying your foodstuffs from the local market is the best way to save money on food as a student.

Do not buy food items in your hostel or street. The prices here are way higher than in the market.

Find time to visit a local market to buy your foodstuffs in bulk. For example, purchasing a 5-litre red oil is cheaper than buying a bottle of oil on your street.

Here are some foodstuffs you can get at the market;

• Rice
• Beans
• Tin tomatoes
• Sachet of Maggi
• Onions
• Dry Fish
• Palm Oil
• Groundnut Oil
• Spaghetti
• Cray Fish
• Pepper
• Garri
• Sachet of Garri

Cook Your Food

Cooking your food yourself is the best way to start a meal plan and save money.

Always resist the urge to eat out or order food online. These options are expensive and would drain your pocket.

Trust me. You will be surprised to find out how much you spend on a meat pie and soft drinks.

Commit to cooking your food.

Create a Meal Plan

Creating a meal plan will give you control over your diet. You will be able to organize your meal.

This strategy will help you to eat healthily and save money.
