There is certainly an amazing amount of here-say about it, but I haven't been exposed to any scientific data as of yet. Feel free to post links in the thread or just PM me. Thanks!

Feel free to post it in this thread. I've read quite a few studies but have never heard this.

A little bit below the average of what someone who eats out twice a day?? If I'm cooking for myself its just around 10$ or less a day. And thats just rounding way up. I buy in bulk, chicken drumsticks on the corner of my house at a viet store is like 65 cents a pound (bone in.) I can probably buy a weeks amount of meat, veggies, and carbs for about 40ish. If you want i can probably make a more detailed break down.

It's up to you. I just wanted to compare my spending's with others. Being a college student, I don't know if I am over spending on food. Thanks.

Ill do a quick guesstimate. So i eat about 5 meals a day.

Breakfast 4 ounce chicken breast and brown rice. Im going to round up to make things easier. Seeing how chicken breast rounded up is around 3$ a pound, 4 ounces should be 1 dollar. about 1 cup of brown rice, (uncle bens, first price that come to mind) about a dollar for a cup. Some lite alfredo sauce (about 2 dollars a jar and i use about 1 serving, about 25-50 cents.) So meal 1 is about $2.50.

Meal two you can repeat or if you want something with some more fats you can switch ti chicken dark meat. About 65 cents a pound near my house (bone in.) Ill eat like 3-4 so thats 60 cents, (i bought 10 for 2.50 the other day.) Some more rice 1$. Meal 2 is about $1.65.

Ill than go to the gym and after drink my whey (2 scoops and 5 grams of creatine. About 50 cents a scoop, and about 6 cents for 5 grams of creatine. I bought 180 servings at vitaminshopp for about 30 dollars.) The shake will run me 56 cents.

After a few hours I'll have a 8 ounce steak, not always but i usually eat better after my workout. 5$ a lbs for new york strip so thats about 1.75 rounded up to 2$. More rice 1$, and some greens. About 25-45 cents at an asian market. I'll eat about 6 ounces (25 cents.) $3.25 for meal 4.

Finally my last meal is more like snacking to hit my macros. Handful of peanuts, or a little bit of fats. 5 dollars for a container, so i'll probably eat 25 cents worth.

In a nut shell
meal 1: $2.50
meal 2: $1.65
meal 3: $0.56
meal 4: $3.25
meal 5: $0.25

Total is about $8.21 Give or take, round up to 9$ for all the seasoning and oil/pam. My earlier guess was pretty accurate. So yea if your in college, and your parents or financial aid is paying you than you should have enough. At the time when i was still in school i was getting around 1200 per semester (3-4 months.) But than now i have to pay for RACE CAR!!! #Worth
