$5 PER DAY UPDATE

 Here is an update on my quest to eat healthy on $5 per day. Hard to eat healthy for $5, but $8 per day is very realistic, daily planning is the key. Generally my daily calorie total will fall between 2000-2500. I also incorporate intermittent fasting, try to eat the majority of my calories between 12 pm and 6 pm by skipping breakfast. Or eating between 9 am and 3 pm and skipping my last meal of the day.
