Raw gruel and a vitamin pill: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruel

Or whatever's cheapest for your local food supply. Every time I've done this game with supermarket produce, it comes under £1/day to support someone's nutritional requirements, currency tells you where I played that game.

McD is pretty expensive these days, I've seen cheaper even in the caregory of fast food.

I'd love to see a return to the idea of government cheese, or at least align food stamps with WIC (WIC in US is a specific food aid program restricted to ostensibly healthier foods), instead of allowing the ridiculous moral hazard and waste posed by regular foodstamps.
