I actually just got done calculating and posting the food cost myself, but erased it because I wasn't that confident of a couple of my estimations. I came to around 6 or 7 cents. But what do I eat *extra* for those calories, vs just an apportionment of what I eat total, not necessarily the same thing. More junk food and snacks I expect.
