MONEY CALORIE COUNTER ™
Review the Money Calorie Counter to find the food items you regularly purchase. (The Money Calorie Counter is a
condensed version of what can be found in Rich and Thin).
Prices and calories in the Money Calorie Counter were collected
from the major food chains. The prices and calories shown are
the median prices and calories gathered in our research.
The numbers shown are based on a scenario of eating these food
items five times a week. The chart will show you how many
calories can be saved plus how much money you can yield if you
invested that same amount. All calculations are based on 10
percent interest compounded in a mutual fund or a similar
interest-bearing investment deposited monthly.
While we realize it’s unlikely you would eat the exact same
thing day in and day out, the charts illustrate the impact your
dieting can have on your wallet in both the short and long term.
