That's...significantly more expensive than I thought it would be per day.

    > 2000 calories in Big Macs: $17.87 at a US McDonalds How did you get that? According to McDonald's own nutritional information [1], you'd consume 1,070 calories per medium meal. Via: Big Mac: 530 calories Medium Fries: 340 calories Medium Drink: 200 Calories In order for your maths to work each meal has to cost $8.94. The most expensive medium big mac meal I can find is $8.03 in DC, or $16 for your 2K calories.

      I divided 2000 calories by the calories in a Big Mac and multiplied by the average price of a Big Mac in the US in July 2015. This calculation does not depend on the cost of foods that aren't Big Macs.

    Or – for a more traditional comparison – cooking. I live in a house of 8 where we order food communally, last month my food bill was £93.35 ($145.50), so $4.85/day for three (subjectively very healthy) meals. Not your typical setup, but still perhaps of interest.
