Just to add some context, as others are suggesting $11.60 is not enough for food: I used to live, fairly recently, on a hard limit of $10 per day for food - I did not eat out (almost never). It was enough to bulk up on (over 4000 calories), was balanced, and even included the prices of some basic supplements I took. This was in an expensive area of the US, that per a quick search is roughly on par with Toronto. $11.60 seems like it could cover a days food in most, if not all, North American cities. You have to be diligent about budgeting, where you shop, what you buy, etc. But it can be done.
