After a nutritious day in the city, you decide to apply all you’ve learned to how you eat at home. Use this worksheet along with the handout on the opposite page to figure out how much it would cost for you to eat a nutritious diet of low cost food prepared at home for one day. Here is an example to show you how it works: Sue is a 17-year old girl who lives with her mother and younger sister. The average weekly food cost from the “Low-cost plan” column for a female age 14-18 is $46.00. However, since there are three people in Sue’s family, she will need to make an adjustment. For her family-size adjustment, Sue adds 5% of $46.00 which is $2.30. (To get $2.30, Sue multiplies her weekly cost of $46.00 x .05.) This brings Sue’s average weekly food cost to $48.30. To find her average daily food cost, she di- vides $48.30 by 7 (days in a week) which is $6.90 per day. Calculate your own average daily food cost below. 1. Your age: ______2. Male or female? ______3. Weekly food cost for your age and gender from the Low Cost Plan column on the handout $______Adjustments: The costs on the handout are given for individuals in four-person families. If your family is another size, you will need to adjust your weekly cost as follows:  One person (you alone) Add 20 percent (multiply x .20 to get 20%) Your Home

 Two persons (you and one other person) Add 10 percent (multiply x .10 to get 10%)  Address: ______ Three persons (you and two others) Add five percent (multiply x .05 to ______get 5%)  Things to do in your  Four persons (you and three others) No adjustment home:  Five or six persons (you and four or five others) Subtract five percent ______(multiply x .05 to get 5%) ______ Seven or more persons (you and six or more others) Subtract 10 percent ______(multiply x .10 to get 10%) ______4.

Eating at home is much more affordable than eating at a restaurant. Use this activity to see how much you can save! The United States Department of Agriculture calculates the estimated cost of food prepared at home for individuals and families based on daily food group plans. These plans provide the kinds and amounts of foods that meet recommendations of MyPlate and the 2010 U.S. Dietary Guidelines. Following is an example of a food group plan for 2000 Calories. Food Group Plan for 2000 Calories: Food Group Amounts from Each Group Fruits 2 cups Vegetables 2.5 cups Grains 6 ounces Meat & Beans 5.5 ounces Milk 3 cups Oils 5 ½ teaspoons Discretionary Calories 267 Calories Typical Meal at Home Food group plans, such as the example above, would allow for a meal for an individual or family at the “Low-cost plan” level. This meal contains one food from each of the MyPlate food groups: Baked Chicken (Meat) Steamed Brown Rice with Margarine (Grain, Oil) Mixed Vegetables (Vegetables) Applesauce (Fruit) Vanilla Pudding (Milk) Ice Water The estimated cost of this meal for you is: ______(Amount filled in for No. 8 on the previous page)

Typical Restaurant Meal Choose a meal from the sample menu on the next page that includes at least one food from each of the MyPlate food groups. Fill in the chart on the opposite page with the information about this meal. It is not necessary to show the amount of each food. Note: If a menu item includes foods from more than one food group, show that on the chart. For example, if you order Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce and Meatballs, you would fill in the spaghetti (pasta) as a grain, tomato sauce as a vegetable and meatballs as a meat. Side dishes that come with a main entrée may be included in the cost of the entrée. Following is an example of how the chart would be completed for these circumstances. Don’t forget to include Philadelphia Sales Tax (8%) and a tip in the total cost of the meal.
