So now you might be wondering – How do you determine the cost per serving on your recipes and menus?
Well, we start at the ground level – attaching the average US price to every single food in our database – including our packaged foods - over 2,000 records (whew!).
From there, our program determines the cost of each ingredient in the recipe (by the gram weight!), adds all of the costs together… and then calculates the cost per serving of our recipes.
These costs are then added up for meals and daily menus to provide you with a Daily Budget Snapshot – the total cost you can expect to pay for food per day based on the meals you have in your plan and the number of eaters in your household.
Other meal planning services provide you with a budgetary guide by dollar sign. But we think that leaves a lot of room for ambiguity, so we put the estimated cost right there for you to see…
