I think the formula might need just a tiny bit of tweaking. If we modify it to be: food to level X = 20 * (( 2 ^ X) - 1), I think it works correctly. If we translate that to 20 times (2 to the power of the level you want to go) and then minus 1 after you have done that part, and then multiply it by 20, you should get the correct total.

For an easy to test example, we can try to take a dragon to Level 4. By the modifiied formula, 2 ^ 4 = 16 and then minus 1 is 15, and then times 20 gives 300, which is correct, I believe.
