Meal prep savings come from buying in bulk and using every serving. Enter what you paid for each ingredient and how many servings you’re actually using from that package — half a rice bag is half the cost.
Compare cost per meal against takeout ($12–18 typical) to see your margin. If you’re above $6/meal, check for expensive proteins or wasted portions.
total_cost= sum of every ingredient’s cost
cost_per_meal = total_cost ÷ meals_prepared
cost_per_person = cost_per_meal ÷ people_per_meal
weekly_cost = cost_per_meal × 7
