But I loved it. Also this has Shrimp removed, because it was on the OG chart due to an error and this is an updated version.

EDIT: Here is one for protein! https://www.reddit.com/r/budgetfood/comments/1fp2ytb/foods_cost_per_gram_of_protein_vs_protein_density/#lightbox

I think it's good to point out how dense they are when shopping. Cause you might be like "walnuts are so expensive per pound, no way they're worth it!" when really they are, they are just crazy dense.

Also if you are caring about "bulk" eating, where you want to make sure your stomach feels full all day, you want more things on the left side cause you'll feel like you are eating more food.

so it is interesting I felt!

People who live in poverty could use this graph to plan the cheapest way to get their calories to avoid starving with very little money.

Is that what you're missing?
