Low Hemoglobin Count. The red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin, also known as Hb or Hgb. This molecule carries oxygen from the lungs to the different parts of the body. A normal hemoglobin level is at 13.8 to 17.2 gm/dL of blood for males and 12.1 to 15.1 gm/dL of blood for females. Normal limits for children vary with their sex and age.
USDA Averages. Every month, the United States Department of Agriculture figures out the average cost of food based on family size, age and style. For September 2010, the USDA determined that a family of two, aged 19 to 50 years old, would typically spend $347.50 on a thrifty food plan or up to $688.60 on a liberal plan.
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.verage Diet Food Budget = $7 a day per person. This USDA plan assumes this family of 4 always eats at home, never at McDonaldâs, Subway, or Applebeeâs. A single meal out can blow the entire days food budget ! Knowing that Americans eat out 5 times a week I consider this a low number.
