I have a theory that there is a impossible trinity (like in economics), where a food cannot be delicious, cheap and healthy at the same time. At maximum 2 of the 3 can be achieved.

Is there any food that breaks this theory?

Edit: I was thinking more about dishes (or something you put in your mouth) than the raw substances

Some popular suggestions include

  • fruits (in season) and vegetables
  • lentils, beans, rice
  • mushrooms
  • chicken
  • just eat in moderation

Edit 2: Thanks for the various answers. Now there are a lot of (mostly bean-based) recipes for everyone to try out!

Also someone made a community for cheap healthy food after seeing this topic!

    That sounds great. I wish I could do something like this, but I get sick of eating the same thing over and over so quickly.

      Yeah. Getting sick of it is definitely a thing. Not eating it on the weekend helps, as does changing the type of oil. There are other bits you can change. I’ve definitely had to take breaks from it from time to time!
