$7 a day for any kind of meals is a pretty good effort, but Jean Weiss at MSN Health & Fitness does her homework to provide the healthy and organic options.
The beginning of this article focuses on what foods do what and scouring the supermarket for cheaper alternatives [duh] so I’ll skip you right ahead to the serving suggestions in the link below.
Jean deals us a nice week-long plan, each day with three serves plus snacks. Meanwhile here are her suggestions for some frugal health-food investments:
If you’re committed to eating on $7 a days, you may want to invest in some assistance:
• Rice cooker, as low as $27
• Wok, between $25 and $40
• Glass jars for bulk items, $23 for 36 8-ounce “ball” canning jars
• Extra freezer, if you get serious, $234 for a chest freezer that will hold 10 pounds of frozen food.

$7 a day? That is $210 for 30 days. MOst low income people can only afford half that. So how about under $3 a day?
Cooking your own food is the most healthy. As time goes by fewer and fewer resturants or takeaways are selling healthy food. This is because healthy food takes time to cook and hence it is not as profitable as junk food.
The main problem with cooking your food is time. Time is very important. After a day of work you are tempted to stop by a takeaway or fast food chain and buy food (actually junk food).
Cooking must be a habit. This is the only way how you can live a healthy and fruitful life ;)

My husband and I eat for less than $5 each per day. Possibly less than $4.50. Healthy, not entirely organic, though.
We make several big meals on weekends which are then reheated for dinners and lunches (I have a lunchbox for work). There’s not as much variety within the week, but I try to make the meals very yummy and exciting.

We were just talking about how to save money today after an eye watering £140 weeks shop yesterday evening! Thanks!
It looks like a healthy plan, but I don’t think it’d be very filling. :/
Continuing with the article and with my above comment I highly recommend reading:

The plan detailed is heavy on items that are known allergens (wheat, eggs, nuts, soy). Even a symptomless food allergy can prevent proper absorption of nutrients, which may lead to hunger and weight gain.
The healthiest and cheapest way to eat is to eat a lot of grains and veggies, a little fruit, and small quantities of very high quality meat.
I’m managing to feed two people and three big dogs (I cook for them) on $120 a week by cooking from scratch and not wasting anything.
Try some older varieties of vegetables that people seem to have forgotten about: cabbage, turnips, parsnips, etc. They pack a lot of flavor and nutrition, and are generally quite inexpensive.

You can easily eat for $7 a day. You can view a complete grocery list at http://sillenivek.blogspot.com/ for eating for less than $5. If the amount of meat was lowered in this example, you should be able to go below $4.
