As the title says, I only have a Multicooker (It has an oven at least), a rice cooker and a microwave to feed myself with. Water mostly comes from bottled water. No stovetop. I'm essentially in an incredibly shitty dorm room right now.
I do most of my shopping at Aldi. How can I keep myself fed without resorting to microwave meals everyday? I've found success with their preasoned cuts of meats like their rosemary pork.
Good budget meals with restricted cooking appliances

An induction hot plate and toaster oven will let you basically make anything you’d need. So with that said what do you like to eat?
What type of “multicooker”? That will make a huge difference in what can be recommended!!
Are you able to cook meat on a hot plate? If not, baking your meats works too. Rice + meat + veggies + various seasonings and sauces will get you most of what you need for a nutritious dinner. Yogurt + granola + fruit for breakfast if you have space in your fridge, or simply just oatmeal with some banana. Sometimes when I’m short on time, I throw in some frozen veggies (edmame, carrots, peas), cut up a bit of spam, and then throw in a cube of chicken boullion for flavoring and white rice into my rice cooker, press the cook button and let that be my lunch for the next few days. I drizzle on a little bit sriracha and soy sauce and if I’m feeling fancy I’ll add some cut up green onion.
