Quick, easy to prepare (and I mean easy!) nourishing foods.
He is in training in Los Angeles (1,000 miles from home) and has access
to deli/supermarket fruits etc. but needs a warm meal occasionally with
proteins and whatever else a 20 year old might need to stay fit.
He shares with a roommate and tries cooking forays with a frying pan
such as fried hamburger and canned pork and beans.
Training is intensive. He has a professional fight in one week's time.
He is 157 lbs and must maintain his weight.
His grandmother!

Yes, of course, you are right. Just one of those old age things that
makes people unnecessarily voluble. Sorry I wasted your valuable time.
Old Grandma who will gladly "leave it at that!"

A very common quick/easy to prepare food which I have used in the past:

George Foreman Grill + Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast + Sauce/salt
(if he's trying to make weight, sauce might not be so great). It
might get kind of boring, but at least you're not getting all the salts
and nitrates from the deli meats (plus it's probably cheaper).
Whenever I ate high protein, I always gained about five pounds (almost
overnight, apparently water weight from glycogen binding in my muscles
or something) if I ate lots of carbs -- but if he's boxing, he'll need
carbs for energy. A rice cooker will give you easy (and cheap) carbs
in the form of rice. I am not the person to ask about
fruits/vegetables, but definately eat something.
