how much do you spend on food a day?

[imbored21]

i downloaded all the fast food apps and am averaging $8/day. feels good brahs.

[Merc009]

Do you eat the burger for lunch and the fries for dinner? No way you’re spending $8 a day pal

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

Today probably ate $6-$10 of food. All meals at home.

[Visel]

When I used to meal prep using chicken, rice, beans, and a sauce (sometimes eggs + cheese instead of chicken), I calculated I'd eat somewhere around 850 Calories worth (1 serving) for less than $2, and that's including any sales taxes, though I guess technically not including electric bill from cooking, dish cleaning costs, etc. With that kinda diet, it'd be easy to fill up for a little over $5 a day, though that's not exactly the most vitamin enriched meal. Also that's likely assuming you'd just be drinking water all day, as opposed to any soda/tea/coffee/energy/alcohol/juice/milk which adds up.

TBH these days its a rarity if I'm not visiting a fast food joint for one or 2 meals a day at roughly $10 a meal. Though it's my own dang fault.

[OliverHeldens]

I'm cutting before a vacation right now, so it's pretty barebones. I eat two cans of Progresso soup ($2) a Builder's Protein Bar ($1) 2 Protein Shakes ($3) and occasionally a few eggs($1).

So $7 on an average day. However, depending if I go out for dinner drinks this could go as high as $100.

[katya422]

probably average around $8 most days eating at home/nothing special.

[CougarP01]

$5/day

[gmenfan40]

Probably around $10 if i'm eating regular home cook meals that are healthy

[katya422]

$5/day

no meat? no coffee? no individual sized items?

[CherryPopinski]

I spend way too much I eat out all the time the only meal I cook for myself is breakfast

[Jasonw1178]

What's ironic is how when I'm trying to drop weight it cost more to eat less. Yes, make your own food and save.

[Jestbrah]

$20 a day probably

3 meals are rice and chicken
2 meals are cream of rice and whey protein
1 meal is eggs, pork, greek yogurt, and bread

pretty much consistently every single day, some bananas and blueberries added in and an avocado or two.

[Xerve]

Probably $20/day at least. I eat out for every meal cause too lazy to cook

[CougarP01]

no meat? no coffee? no individual sized items?

This is on a normal day where I don't go out, but $5/day is sustainable for me.

Bulk caffeine pills and Bulk Multivitamins that equate to .04/pill. I drink nothing but water.

I am pescatarian...I pretty much eat sardines($1/Can), eggs(~.18/egg), and greek yogurt as my sole protien sources. Avocados are $2/KG. Corn Tortillas go for .75/KG. Black Beans are $1/KG, Loaves of bread are $1.50, Brown Rice for $1.50/KG....Mushrooms, Spinach, PB&J, Granola all cheap.

My main gotos are breakfast burritos(<$1/per), greek yogurt bowls (my highest costing meal), Mushroom tacos(<$1 meal), sardines on toast with a blackbean/guac spread, plus pasta and such when I want to switch it up.

This is only in Mexico City though. Its probably more like $8-10 at NYC(But i have to get very creative if i do plan on budgeting)

[Joseph1990]

I limit myself to 15.00 CAD.

[Nox13]

try and keep it under $100 per day

eat out 99% of meals crew feels bad man

not unusual to drop $400+ on a nice meal with good vino once a week easy

thinking about it low key makes me mad the money i could be saving but indulging and eating proper gourmet meals from time to time is impossible to beat

[Fozzy13]

I eat out a lot but only eat 1 meal a day, so usually $10-15..fuark!
I need to start cooking my own fkn food and bring that down to like $5.

This was what I had today man.

breakfast
Del taco donuts and coffee $2 400 calories
lunch
Burger King 3 for $3 meal (Burger + fries + drink kids size) 1000 Calories
dinner
McDonalds Mcdouble + large drink + free cookie from app = $3 and 1000 Calories

Yes. I know it's not a lot of food but it's cheap and does the job.

[CougarP01]

Its in my sig. Not my fault I answered the question.

[Roldz]

More than you can afford, pal.

[Goodguy03]

$0


I get my family to buy food for me

that would literally make me feel full in 1 meal, and i would need to eat 4-5 more meals that day.

[Caeculus]

I eat one meal a day average $4-$5 and go through $1-$2 of diet cola so ~$5-$7 / day

EDIT:

Example for today:
half pound ground beef $3, half a pound pasta $0.50, Can of sauce $0.90, quarter stick of butter, 4 cans of diet sam's cola $0.90

[Joseph1990]

I'm so edgy I'll just say $5 with no context. Everyone will be so confused ha! I'm so cool!

Its in my sig. Not my fault I answered the question.

[CougarP01]

you should try the black layout. A lot more aesthetic.

[Kaliconic]

I think it's roughly $7 a day, but I'm not exactly sure. It could go lower than that but I buy fruits and vegetables often. I also drink milk and eat a small amount of nuts. Cutting out those foods to save a little more definitely wouldn't be worth it.

I eat certain foods almost every day: oats, chicken, either broccoli or spinach, beans, tomatoes, a peanut butter sandwich, some milk. Other foods, such as tuna, sardines, Greek yogurt, and avocados I eat regularly but not daily.

[RustleU]

Why spend 10 dollars a day when you make 10k a day? Doesn't add up.

Where do you get your meat? How do you prep it? How long does it last before going bad? How often do you go to the grocery store?? Can you just microwave it??
