So if we sum up all the ‘cost per serving’ amount, we get a figure of 286 INR and the nutrient intake per day is
Protein: 184 grams | Carbohydrates: 379 grams | Fat: 90 grams
That means the diet budget per day is 286 INR. And for a 30 day month, it becomes,
286 X 30 = 8580 INR
The carbohydrates to protein ratio here is 2:1
As the grocery cost would vary from state to state this number can go up to a maximum limit of 8800 INR.
