I actually used to lose more weight when I was really poor than I am now. I'd buy like a single Totino's pizza at 660 calories for around a $1 and I could make that plus maybe a sandwich or a burrito from Taco Bell or something last me all day. Probably had about 1200-1400 calories a day most days, and spent $3 or less. Now I'm spending like $10-20 a meal for two meals, and I'm probably consuming well over 2000 calories a day, probably 3000 a lot of days, eating things like Poke and Mediterranean salads and the like (not exclusively, I have unhealthy meals also). I realize I am just anecdata and not representative of poor eating habits in general. Studies seem to suggest that was an anomaly. I had Totino's pizza again the other day. Still good, still can get them for $1.50 or less. Just seems like I need to eat a lot healthier as far as food quality now, at least on average.
