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!
Taco Bell tacos are so little meat they are decidedly not too bad as take away food goes. They use oats to bulk out the “meat” so you get fibre (11% of your daily needs) and they drain the fat off, it’s high in salt like all take out food, but not as bad as some. It’s not health food by any means but at 180 calories for a beef taco, it’s not the worst thing you can eat for lunch.
