I'm trying to figure this out. I see chicken breast at $3 for 450g which is about 900 calories? So 1/3 penny per calorie?
A tomato is 16 calories per 100g which cost 50 cents so what, 3 cents per calorie? Did I do that right?

Grains are.
Rice. Wheat. Maize (corn). Rye. Oats. Barley. Millet. A handful of others.
A 50# bag of rice (22.7kg) costs less than $20, and provides 17,800 calories, or about 900 calories per dollar, or about 0.1 cents/calorie.
I see chicken at about $2/lb, 102cal/3oz, or 544 cal/lb. That's 2.7 cents/calorie, 27 times more expensive than rice.
(And for the nutritionists out there: kilocalories are not all that food provides, but it's the most significant start. Macros and micros as well as other factors do matter. I've been told.)
Oh: There are also root crops, especially potatoes.
