I seriously doubt you can buy $20 worth of chicken and live on it for a month, and if you are eating $20 of chicken a month you are pretty damn poor.

$13.33 will not get you far if you eat out, but if you are poor you can buy groceries, $50 worth of meat including chicken, beef, and pork, that is A LOT of meat. Maybe because I'm a petite female/very small person, and I don't eat a lot, but I only buy a small amount of groceries and I never even end up eating it at all. It 's been sitting in the freezer for like months. There is no way I could even finish eating $50 worth of meat in a month.
I would get sick of meat and probably become obese if I ate that much. Maybe it's because I am health conscious and I try to not eat a lot of beef, because I know it can lead to cancer/heart disease, so I eat lots of vegetables, salads, and rice. And it happens to be cheaper this way too.
I think $200 worth of groceries per person is more than enough (if you are really poor). I know you could get by, I mean it's not like you have to buy NewYork steak or caviar or something. I go to the grocery store all the time, and I know that there's no way I would even want to buy $400 of food, it would rot before I would even get a chance to eat it.
