Survival of the student

I read an article on Buzzfeed called I Ate Like A College Kid For A Week, and it was horrifying.
Is this really what students are likely to live on for a week?
Not once as a student, have I done that.
Even when I was super pov, somehow, I've always managed to eat reasonably well, with loads of fresh veg, and better quality protein.
Sure, there have been times when I've had mac n cheese, but rarely have I had it plain, most of the time I can make it stretch for several meals, simply by adding veggies and bacon or ham.
And even the horror that is 2 minute noodles (ramen to you US folk) can be more of a balanced meal with some veggies and an egg.... heck, don't even bother with the noodles, steamed veg and an egg can be a pretty good meal on it's own.
So, current and former students, how do/did you survive?
Is it all sodium noodles and sugar bread? Or have you developed your own trick (that doesn't involve tricks) to make your money cover better food?
