This is a QotW answer Still in student mindset
Even though it's almost a year since I left university, I still skimp on 'luxuries' such as re-heating food.
Instead just eat it cold, saving the gas/electricity. Then use some of this saved energy to have a nice cuppa, thus warming up the cold food in your stomach, and providing adequate hydration

...But wait! Aren't kettles horribly inefficient?! bugger...

It's just that water takes a lot of energy to heat up (high heat capacity). I think I calculated the minimum cost for a cup of boiled water to be about 2p so no worries.

Real students simply suck old teabags so you are rather spoiled in fact.
