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...
Continue gaining in college

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.
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.
