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!

    strongly depends on your energy output. If you’re an endurance athlete or even just exercise with greater than moderate intensity on the reg, it’s healthy fuel for the furnace

    If you’re a sedentary blob flirting with type II diabetes, it’s poison

      And most of us are indeed super athletes. Definitely no couch potatoes round here.
