$5 per meal.
3 meals per day.
30 days a month.
Equals $450.
You can easily save $100+ a month if you buy groceries and eat in.

You could try eating less per meal.
Buy chicken in bulk. Try to find cases of chicken quarters. Theyre cheaper than buying chicken breasts.
For sides, buy iceberg lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber.
Only shop during sales days.
Find as many coupons as you can.
Grow your own vegetables. I think tomatoes are the easiest ones. Not too sure though.
If its an option, maybe you can try fishing.

$5 a meal is $15 a day is $105 a week... Hit up a cheap grocery store and you can eat good. Cereal, Milk, Eggs, Cheese, lunchmeat, Chicken Breast, some seasoning 
bread and veggies. You'll have plenty left over. you're throwing away money if you're trying to eat for $5 a meal instead of $105 a week.

It's hard to put it on a per meal basis, you're better off grocery shopping, cooking and assembling meals that way. I'm about $80 per week, breakfast, lunch and dinner, and that's cooking and brown bagging for lunches.
Make a shytload of food at any one time, then freeze portions.
Your biggest enemy's going to be getting home after work and you're going to be too tired to cook something, so you head for the easier, but more expensive per meal option.

Not really. You can buy fresh greens and veggies/fruits for under a dollar, chicken in bulk, fish is pretty expensive though if you're looking for the wild caught organic type, and just drink water. Also, there are plenty of marked down items and poultry/meats with "Managers Special" coupons on them where you can easily save 3-5 bucks. Going to markets are pretty cheap too. I go to coop markets and save a whole lot.
