The chart above is an infographic about purchasing power in USD for food at several countries and towns around the globe, I can't tell about other nations except Greece and more specific Athens, so you are supposed with the said data to be able to purchase food for 14 days with 100 usd in Athens.
Lets put that to the test now will we.
86 euros would be the equilivent of 100usd so I will just divide that with with 14 for the said day to get the number I need. Easy maths right?
So I get 6.14 euro to spend for food per day. A normal person should eat about 2400 callories per day or about that it comes down to each individual build but that is the average so I will go with that.
So what does a 2400 calories diet looks like? I really need to google that out.

So closing this (in my opinion and experience) there is no way you can have this kind of a diet per day for 6.14 euros in Greece Athens as we speak unless I am missing something, what do you guys think? I think the chart is totally bullshit personally I am not even sure if it is a joke or not. Leave me a comment about what you think down below pls.
follow this link to zoom in to the chart to find your Country and town, did they get it right for your region.
I am genuinely interested about it.
NOTE: 40/40/20 stands for 40% protein 40% carbs 20% fat.
Best regards.
