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 you are the same kind of post brigader that I’ve seen on reddit before from a certain 5 letter sub

    Please know that what your doing is bad faith and you shouldn’t be policing or harassing other users online for what they consume

    stick to your own personal dietary preferences and let others stick to theirs

      I don’t care what people consume, unless they’re telling other people things that aren’t true. Eat a twinkie-only diet if you want - if you’re happy then I’m happy for you. If not, go talk to a dietitian and educate yourself.
