I was going more on a regular meal portion than an analysis of calorie content, fat, salt, additives and such.
FWIW a medium bowl of noodles is 2MJ (according to WolframAlpha; tea tonight, but we had pork left-overs in ours +0.5MJ [or so, not on WA]), Big Mac is listed as 2.2MJ + 1.3MJ for fries.
So that's only 40% more calories.
Big Mac and fries is ~£3.50 in the UK.
Our food was about 35p per portion plus the pork which I'd say was 75p + cooking and cleanup costs [40p?].
On that basis we'll say £1.50 vs £3.50 for 40% more calories as a gross estimate.
