How much should food cost?
UK households spend roughly £30–£60 per adult each week on groceries. Batch cooking and planning are the biggest savers.
Why meal prep?
Cooking in batches cuts waste, saves time on busy days and avoids paying £5–£10 for lunch out.
Is this calculator for me?
It suits healthy adults planning everyday eating. It is not medical advice. If you are pregnant, under 18, or have kidney disease, diabetes or another condition, check with your GP or a registered dietitian.
