Ask HN: How much do you spend on food a day?

On average for calendar year 2024, it was $35 a day, living in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. For two people. My guess would be this is on the higher end of things, but I'm curious about others. Another factor is I am 95kg, 15% bf and do resistance training 6 times a week, so I eat a lot.

(I beancount[1] my finances.)

Depending on the day, it's anywhere from $50 to $200. When you're advising companies and rubbing shoulders with rich CEOs, there's always a price tag. Sometimes they treat you to a fancy meal—but more often, you're stuck halfway across the country, scrambling to grab a quick bite before you can pull over.

I live in NYC, spend an average of 40-75$ a day, almost always cook all my own food.

Depends on the day and how much time I have but on the low end if I make everything around $20-30(aud) and high end if I order takeaway for lunch and dinner probably around $80-100(aud) though I do that rarely these days.

Typically under $10 a day. Lots of vegetables and paying attention to prices.

around $8 per day
