I drove down to Boston with my boss for a presentation at Children's Hospital put on by UNH HMP alumni for current students. What a great program this is that there are so many dedicated and passionate alumns.
I had to leave wicked early in the morning because the event started at 0830, so I poured a cup of coffee in my travel mug and packed a few PB&Js to take along for the ride.
I actually linked up with my boss on the way and we drove together, and he needed a cup of coffee for the road, so I, having finished my first cup, bought a second one.
| Breakfast | Quantity | Cost | Calories |
| bread, wheat | 4 | $0.52 | 266 |
| peanut butter | 1 | $0.27 | 180 |

| coffee | 1 | $0.09 | 5 |
| coffe, store | 1 | $1.99 | 5 |
| $3.05 | 511 |
An expensive breakfast, but 2/3 of the cost came from the single cup of coffee.
I had a bag of peanuts in my pocket the whole time we were in Boston, but I didn't get around to eating them. I didn't get lunch until about 1500. By then I was pretty hungry, so I made a big bowl of pasta with onions mixed in with the crappy store-bought sauce.
| Lunch | Quantity | Cost | Calories |
| macaroni | 3.00 | $0.47 | 315 |
| onion | 6.00 | $0.47 | 32 |

| spaghetti sauce | 1.00 | $0.34 | 60 |
| coffee | 3.00 | $0.28 | 5 |
| $1.62 | 432 |
Since I hadn't eaten much protein, I decided to make myself a cheese omelet sandwich for dinner.

| bread, wheat | 2.00 | $0.26 | 133 | |||||||||||
| $1.32 | 418 |
After dinner I was still pretty hungry since I had only eaten about 1400 calories at that point, so I decided to make some power oatmeal: oatmeal with banana, peanut butter, and milk.
A couple of hours later I had an orange as a final snack.
| Snack | Quantity | Cost | Calories |
| oatmeal | 1.00 | $0.33 | 153 |
| peanut butter | 1.00 | $0.27 | 180 |
| milk | 1.00 | $0.31 | 83 |

| orange | 1.00 | $0.99 | 63 |
| coffee | 2.00 | $0.19 | 5 |
| $2.33 | 574 |
As you can see, there's not much variety in the desert. I really wasn't up for a can of vegetables today. Bananas are one of my favorite fruits - I eat them regularly even when I'm not doing this kind of experiment. I only occasionally eat oranges, but since they are available and so many other things are not, I've eaten more during the course of this experiment than I normally do.
