That's a strange and out of context example. I live in one of the more expensive European cities and for 12E still get to eat a pound of meat in a restaurant. Of course it will always depend on what you order and which restaurant. But your comparison is like saying the average rent in the US is $3000/mo (which it actually is, is some parts).

Surely you’d take a protein shake after lifting?
I lift weights and going to Europe was the most physically draining experience. Going to a restaurant paying 12 Euros and getting 700 calories of carbs was awful. And having to pay for water... I felt physically terrible.
By the end of the trip, I'd order 6 tuna or egg sandwiches.
I don't travel because I find learning more interesting than looking at buildings.
