I made food choices on my rule that food should make you feel good before you eat it, when you are eating it, and several hours after you have consumed it.
This good feeling starts at the wallet. For about $3 a day, you can satisfy 70% of your food requirements **.
| Food | Approx Price of One week supply |
Quantity Per Day |
|---|---|---|
| Egg, boiled | 1.00 | One |
| Banana | 1.00 | One |
| Kiwi | 1.50 | One |
| Orange | 2.50 | One |
| Milk with tea | 1.50 | One cup |
| Broccoli | 0.50 | Two small flowers |
| Raw pineapple | 2.50 | One slice |
| Lettuce | 1.00 | One leaf |
| Whole wheat bread | 2.00 | Two slices |
| Wheat wraps | 3.50 | Two |
| Baked potato | 2.50 | One |
| Carrots | 1.50 | Several baby |
| Mushroom | 2.00 | Three small |
Not much cooking involved, however it takes some time to wash, cut, and split in portions.
I feel energetic all day long, and my brain has good blood supply at work.
** Being a Desi, I complete the remaining 30% with an oil soaked meat serving and rice.
