Riten,
What part of the US can you get chicken at .50/pound? But yeah, I agree with what you and Korean_Soju said. 2.2 lbs(1 Kilo) of goat meat costs 500 rupees, that's freaking 6 bucks! 

I don't really know how much Nepalese spend in groceries but I bet we spend more than 45% of our income on groceries itself. There's absolutely no comparison between the spending of Nepalese to that of an American. Like has already been said, Groceries cost much cheaper over here.

There's one down side of the way Nepalese eat though. Nepalese eat too much carbs and very little protein which helps you explain why Nepalese are almost unmuscular while every dude who loves to eat has a pot-belly. White is a massive NO NO. Anything white - Sugar, White Bread, White Flour will spike your blood sugar level and a sudden decline results in you gaining weight significantly.

But that said, if you were to choose healthier food (like Whole Grain, Wheat, Brown rice) along with lean protein in every meal(via turkey, lentils(daal), beans etc), you can have a good body by eating food that costs so less when you compare it to the costs of same food in Nepal.
