Best food in terms of calories/€?

Incompetent

Looking for a nice (somewhat nutritious) feast that doesn't cost a fortune. Currently either subway or spar/centra rolls, which aren't much for €3/4.

Bringing in a lunch is best but when I'm too lazy to cook I need somewhere else

Try the Topaz lunch deals, usually grab a southern fried chicken roll + small drink for 4 (or getting the 1.49 rolls in dealz and pimp them up with veggies & heat them up).
My personal favoriye for snacking: cucumber! use it si crips replacement in the eves and works perfect with almost no calories (lost 2 st since Feb)

I wouldn't consider Spar rolls or Subway to be particularly nutricious. Londis frequently have the same chicken sandwiches for €2 though if you want to go down that route.

The Runner Bean on Nassau St. do excellent sandwiches for €4ish with a student card or €4.50 with a piece of fruit and a bottle of water. The quality of the ingredients and the bread is much higher than any of the usual sandwich outposts.

I know you said you're too lazy to cook but making sandwiches isn't exactly cooking. It's takes literally minutes and you'll be saving money.. fair enough getting a sambo once in a while (we all do it, especially from Subway ) but I don't know how people justify buying food in college every day.

The Londis on Dame St. just beside Costa coffee does REALLY nice chicken fillet rolls for €1.99. Yum.
They're as nice as the Dunnes ones, cheaper than any of the ones on Grafton/Nassau St., and really close to college.

But lets face it, you've already admitted that the smartest thing to do is bring in a lunch. There are plenty of lunches that you don't have to prepare on the day you're going to eat it.

Except for the Londis on Grafton St...

They're not as nice! (Also the queue there can get pretty insane, one time there was so much squeezing and pushing and shoving I had to take a pregnancy test afterwards...)

I'm a chicken fillet roll connoisseur.

Is such a thing possible?

Surely they come from the same factory anyway.

If you mean different quality chicken fillet rolls, then yes.

If you mean being a chicken fillet roll connoisseur, well, by this time next year the only other thing I'll have to my name is a B.A. Mod from Trinity, and that's hardly going to get me far, so I hope I can at least put CFR expert on my CV!

Edit: Forgot to say OP, there's free lunches in the chaplaincy on Tuesdays (I think) around lunch time.

Bears and Vodka

Mongolian Barbecue in Temple Bar. You can buy a whole bowl of food (you can put as much food into it as you can manage) for €5. It's very filling and tasty, as well as being much healthier than chicket fillet rolls.

KC Peaches with a Players card/other society card... 4 euro for a small box (which you pack full of pretty nice hot food)

A B.A. Mod I already have but I'm still working on the CFR expert part.

This is certainly one of the best options.

Yum Thai on Dukes Street (between Dawson and Grafton Streets) isn't a bad alternative to the Mongolian Barbeque either. They do cartons of various Thai food for €5. Probably not the most nutritious, but plenty of food for your money.

Justice!

People are probably aware of this since it's so close to Trinity, but O Brien's on Westmoreland St. does a really decent toasted roll for €3.70 with a trinity student card. (normally a fiver but having a card gets you 25% off)
