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.
The general range of individual meals runs from $5.00 per person (e.g. a sandwich and a side for lunch) to $25.00 per person (e.g. a steak dinner.) The cost of a meal varies depending on many circumstances, such as: - Breakfast and lunch meals are usually cheaper than dinner meals.- Appetizers, desserts, and drinks will increase the cost of a meal. (An appetizer or a dessert can sometimes cost as much as an entree.) - Fine dining or gourmet restaurants charge more than chain and family restaurants.- Steak and seafood usually carry a higher price than other entree selections.he general range of individual meals runs from $5.00 per person (e.g. a sandwich and a side for lunch) to $25.00 per person (e.g. a steak dinner.)
