Emiliano> so your weekly menu would cost me around 75$, almost two
times what it costs you...but is that amount of food really enough for
a week? I could easily eat that stuff (except for the eggs maybe) in a
couple of days...
Wow on the prices! Why would it cost that much more for food in
Italy? Guess I'll have to plan to bring extra money when I visit
Piemonte next summer!
You're right to ask if that's enough food. I left out the detail that
I'm on one of my moderate protein experiments right now. I can stand
to lose about ten pounds or so, so I'm doing a diet where I eat
100grams of protein a day and zero carbs. Ends up being about 1500
calories per day. It would definitely not be sustainable for anyone
in the long run -- but I have about 10-15 pounds I can spare to lose
and which is therefore extra, unaccounted for fuel. I will say that I
do suspect that most of those near the poverty line also carry around
waistline fuel that they cannot access due to high insulin levels...
