Question

If you kept a record of how much money you spend on food in a day and use this information to estimate your monthly food costs. Would you be able to meet the recommendations of MyPlate on a budget of $3 a day? Which food groups contain the most expensive choices? Name some less expensive options in these food groups.

Answer 1

A per day spend on food varies from 7 to 10$ per day for vegetarians and 10-18$ for non vegetarians and it won’t be possible to meet the recommendations of MyPlate on a budget of just 3$ per day.

Non vegetarian food group will contain the most expensive choices as compared to any other group because beef and fish are quiet expensive.

Boiled eggs and Chicken are the two a bit less expensive options in this food group.
