To answer that question we need to know just how much do people spend on food on average on both an average diet and a real food diet. According to the USDA the average family of four is spending somewhere between $544 to $1235 per month for food eaten at home.Thatâs a huge range! They break it down into 4 plans: Thrifty, low-cost, moderate, and liberal. found a few thriftyâs, a lot of low-cost or moderates, and no one who admits to spending the liberal plan :-). So for the sake of argument Iâll assume that the moderate plan is pretty average. The moderate plan for a family of four with small children is $855 per month. That is $7 a day for each person.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the standard food guide recommendation for the average individual is set around 46 grams per day for women and 65 grams per day for men.[4] Keep in mind, however, that this is the recommendation for the average, semi-sedentary individual.
