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’m sorry to read your comment. But I’m curious about why you despise vegetables and even hate tomatoes.

      I wonder if it’s because you “learnt” to hate them or because your body refuses it. If it’s the first one, I’m sure you can also learn to appreciate it. Not all at once, not in one day, but little by little, it can truly change your life for good. It’s never too late (I’m 48 so I’m almost there with you).

        I absolutely hated almost all vegetables and legumes when I was younger. After I started forcing myself to eat them regardless of my opinion - since they are indispensable - I found that I have been disliking them on a mental basis, and just simply eating them has undone my hatred for vegetables.

      Rice, and simple carbohydrates in general, are debatably not healthy whatsoever, as they’re processed more quickly into fat than they can be burned, leading to hunger reappearing earlier than it actually should. Fats and proteins take longer (I think) to be converted to raw energy, and so you don’t get hungry as quickly, and gain less fat. Also in general if you don’t eat any carbs, you’ll fall into ketosis, and then your body can more easily burn your body fat when you’re hungry.
