I'd be curious to see the cost of meal kits broken down, and come to think of it, this can probably already be found on the internet. Ideally I'd make a spreadsheet that also shows prep/cleanup times. In my case, I'd prefer cost-per-satiety instead of cost-per-calorie - most people eat too many calories anyway.
I've started keeping a bag of meal replacement powder, particularly for traveling. It compares poorly to a full English breakfast, but four scoops plus water keeps me filled past lunch, and as long as it isn't consumed too frequently, it's not half bad.
Lately I've had more dollars than time, and I eat out for lunch most days. There are multiple places nearby where I can drive, eat, and be back at my desk in less than 30 minutes, for ~$7-8USD (after tax, no tip), and have a nutritionally complete and very satisfying meal, with no cleanup. My largest concerns are keeping my mood up, and buying myself free time, and these options satisfy.
Attached: $7usd meal.
