NaBloWriMo Day 2: And the Journey Begins…

November 4, 2009

Here goes trying to eat healthy on a synced budget! I went shopping on Sunday and spent $32.01, therefore I have $7.99 left to spend this week on food. I didn’t come up with this experiment until the commute home, so I had to do quite a bit of math. Not sure if I am going to do the financial break down per meal every day, but thought this was interesting. I have felt satisfied every day so far and my clothes feel looser. So far so good!

Breakfast – $0.81

• 1 cup special K serial ($0.47)
• 1 cup 1% milk ($0.19)
• black tea ($0.10)*
• splenda ($0.05)*
• creamer (work provides)

Lunch -$1.18

• hummus ($0.25)*
• crackers ($0.31)
• salsa ($0.50)
• chamomile tea($0.10)*
• splenda ($0.05)*

Dinner -$1.63

• 2 eggs ($0.36)
• 1/8 cup red onion ($0.16)
• 1/8 cup red pepper ($0.26)
• 2 Tbsp parmasan ($0.10)
• 3.2 oz turkey kielbasa ($0.75)

Snacks -$0.63

• Special K strawberry granola bar ($0.42)*
• Green Apple ($0.21)

Total cost of food: $4.25

I definitely need to incorporate more fruit into my meals and I don’t drink nearly enough water.
