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 mostly eat them sweet but was looking for something savory. Gonna try # 3. Thanks :)
Yes, savoury is good. for a cup of oats, 2 eggs, a good ¼ tsp salt, a good grind of black pepper, a dousing of white pepper, a full teaspoon or more of garam masala… Soy Sauce/Worcestershire sauce.
It’s basically omelette… you can find video ‘oats and eggs’ to show the basic idea. Be careful, it’s twice as filling as porridge once you start with eggs.
