>>152825 i eat extremely healthy and i feed myself for under $10/day. a typical day for me includes either 2 or 3 whey shakes @300 calories ea., and either 2 or 3 meals of whole food (25g carbs, 50g protein, and a cup of veggies) so that my total # of daily meals is 5.
my whole food meals may include chicken, broccoli and rice or steak strips, mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts, or salmon, bean salad and rice, or a whole grain bread sandwich with turkey and veggies and very little fat. often i get a wrap at work for $3.00 which makes for 2 meals. any time i find i had a protein-deficient meal i add hardboiled egg whites ASAP afterwards.
the shakes are only about $1.10 apiece. they contain 50g protein, and since i use juice with them, about 25g carbs. a tub costs $40 and contains 80 'servings' (i double up for super protein) and i only use 3 oz of cheap juice ($6/2gal). so there already is 600-900 calories a day for about $3.50.
i grind my own meat when i need it ground, i buy big fat family packs of chicken and sirloin steak (best combo of price and quality, i find), lean pork chops, etc and i only use a handful of veggies per dinner. each meal, when properly portioned, contains 300-450 calories and costs 3 to 4 dollars based on what i put in it. if it's fish, it's probably gonna be more like $6.
