The Final Numbers

So I am officially done with the Real Food Thesis. The experience has been amazing. One good way to show what I learned is through the piles of data I collected. So here are some of the final numbers.

• Average spent on food per day: $4.88
• Per week: $34.19
• Per month: $136.75
• Total Spent on food: $630.66
• Total Eaten: $488.39
• Total Food Waste: $47.93 (7.6% of what I spent on food total).
• Days on the project: 112, 100 of which followed the rules entirely (other days were breaks or I was sick)
• 16 Weeks long
• 10 lb. lost

What do you think? I am personally shocked by how little I spent a day. The most I spent on food while following the diet in one day was $8.57 on September 24. I had Jamba Juice for dinner, and that cost $4.90, but it still followed the rules. The least I spent on food in one day was $0 because I was eating lots of free food. Other low days were caused by me being sick. Days that I was home were not calculated into this. If they were, I would have averaged $4.36 per day.

I will have one or two more posts before I call it quits. Thank you for following me on my journey.
