$4 for a day's worth of calories? How much do you spend on food every day?
What meat are you buying for $3.65 a pound?
That's more expensive than chicken, most pork, ground beef, turkey... Obviously, prices depend on location and where you shop, so they may be different, but this has been my experience across a few states (all in the midwest or southwest, though, so my food is probably cheaper comparatively if you're a coastie).
Yes, I'm coastal for now and meats are more expensive than basic cheeses, may be reflected in how I shop.
Good cheeses, more expensive than meats, but oh boy are they tasty. A nice mimolette or tomme...
How many calories in a pound of chicken, pork, or beef?
