There are two main steps to make a food budget. Firstly, you need to track your daily expense specificly. Keep eveything in track and do not cheat yourself. You shouldn't ignore even one dollar because it can add up to a surprising number at the end of the month. Secondly, you make a plan on what you necessarily need to buy and cut out others you don't need. In addition, it will be a good way to save the money by making the food yourself instead of going to the restuarant.
