The Cost of Health
This was a note that I wrote this morning to myself.
It sounds so easy in theory, doesn't it? Notice I didn't even take into account Breakfast :) Ah well, I'll get the hang of it eventually. Breakfast shouldn't cost more than Vita Brits (9 days per 1kg box, 1 box = $4), Milk (1L Longlife = 3 days = $0.99) and Canned Fruit (one 850g tin = 4/5 days = $2.89).
Therefore.... Vita Brits = 44c/day, Milk = 33c/day, Canned fruit = 72c/day, = $1.49/day, x 7 = $10.43/week.
Sorry, there's still a businessman inside of me.

I have no idea how to prepare healthy meals, so...
Here's the cost of buying them per week.
Dinner
At the moment Lean Cuisine's are on special in Woolworths, all going for $3.89.
7 x 3.89 = 27.23
Lunch... I've just gotta start buying fruit... :-S Keep apples, bananas and mandarins in my bag.
Spend at most per week, $22.50.
That takes total spending per week to ~ $50.

good start dude! next step...exercise!!! i know you can do it! and if that fails we can always teach you how to cook :-)
lean cuisine...um... u will go hungry really soon after dinner!
Luke you're making the assumption that all that food you mentioned is actually healthy... it's all lies... it's not real... they're out to get you... wrap yourself in foil...
foil has been wrapped... but now its hard to do exercise - who should I believe matt - you or the general public?!?!?!!!
Well, actually, exercising while wrapped in foil is an effective way of generating electricty, you just gotta work out how to harvest it. So really, you get fit and start a viable business all at once.
Bet the general public couldn't think that up. Now I think it's clear who you should believe...
ooo. is it matt? should you trust him? i think you should...he knows his stuff :-P but you really can't believe everything on the packet...
Number crunching + getting it right = relief, elation, improved self-esteem.
Number crunching + getting it wrong = stress, panic attacks, ATO audits and low office morale :-s
