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!

    I think falafel and pita with all the veggies and sauces might be something that fits the bill that you can find easily.

      Falafel is made of chickpeas which are healthy, but deep frying them isn’t very good for you. Not too bad as long as you don’t eat it all the time, but OP asked for healthy foods.

        You have two tiny balls of falafel with huge serving of veggies, pita and veggies. I don’t think it’s particular unhealthy compared what people eat usually. You could of course airfry or bake the falafels if you want to avoid that as well.
