    Gotta cook at home.

    Any alternative options run $5 for 800 calories in San Francisco, besides home cooking?

    Ah! Taco Bell does have ‘em beat:

    Anywhere else I think you’d need [app] coupons to achieve parity, though I could be wrong.

      I swear Domino’s pizza is the best calorie to dollar ratio here. You can get a pizza that’s probably more than your daily calorie requirement for under $5 if you buy something like a Hawaiian at lunch time.

      Just checked and a deep pan pepperoni is over 1200kcal and is AUD7 (USD4.60).

        Ding ding ding!

        Have to use one of their permanent coupons, otherwise it’s more than twice as expensive ($18.99).

        Has between 2550-2640 calories as built, so:

        Taco Bell: 3.38/420=0.008

        Domino’s: 7.99/2600=0.0031

        .8 cents per calorie versus .3 cents per calorie. What a deal! (Health evaluation not included :) )
