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!

    Jimmy Joy. Cheap (under 2 euros per meal), delicious and you can’t really get any more nutritious than that. It has all the recommended nutrients in one go.

        Lol, no. I can see why you would think that, but I am genuinely enthusiastic about it. I just had one for lunch actually :D and I just recommend it to people whenever I have the chance. It’s like astronaut food. You mix the powder with water and you’re done for the next 4-6 hours. It’s not for everyone though. I’ve met people who try it and don’t feel full, and need to eat again shortly after. Also, they have way too many products and I just use the vanilla high-protein powder. But this was just an advice from one human to another :)

        Different countries have different alternatives. The concept is 'powdered meal replacement ’
