I just told my coworkers how much I spend on food a week and apparently I’m WAY above average.
They aren’t atheltes of any kind, and not particularly health conscious yet my $75-110 a week on food is way mmore then they spend. I buy mostly produce, so maybe that’s part of it.
what about you guys? I would imagine most of you eat fairly well.
I budget about $25/day for food…this doesn’t include supps or meals out with my g/f or friends on the weekends…But I also live in Washington DC and food here is frackin expensive…being 280# doesn’t help…
Maybe $125 not counting eating out. I eat out usually once or twice a week, if you eat 6 times a day its really impractical to eat out since your spending like $10 on 1/6th of your food that particular day.
I’m in the same boat as the OP. At work I told people what I spend ($110 to 125 every week) and some people spend that much for about a month and half. I was like “Do eat Ramen noodles for every meal?” The meats will really kill your grocery bill. I’m tall and 225 pounds with a high metabolism. I eat about 5000 cal a day for maintenance.

Rice comes out to ~2,100 cals/dollar if you buy it in 10lb bags (at least where I shop). Can’t really get a cheaper source of cals than that lol.
70-100 excluding supps. It could easily be higher but I supply my own pork, venison(deer meat), fish, and elk. Sometimes beef. Ill splurge and buy beef thats local as well. Ill never buy beef(or most meat) from Wal-Mart again.
