I know a guy who tried to do with $1.50 per day (or was it $2 per day? I can't remember exactly since it was a few years ago, but his food budget was shockingly low. And it wasn't like he didn't have money.) and I don't think he cooked much because I heard he was eating instant ramen noodles a lot. Last I heard, he got sick (he had seizures) and went back home. I don't know whether he was eating exteremly unbalanced meals all the time made him sick, but I wouldn't be surprised.
If you can actually eat well balanced meals with $3 per day, all the power to you (although I don't consider soda, some fast food and junk food nutritious). I guess if you shop wisely, it may be possible to eat well with $3 per day, but I'd like to indulge a bit more than that, and I don't wanna rack my brain trying to do extreme bargain shopping either. (My food budget is more like $10 per day... Actually, $110 per week if I include going out for lunch and such.)
