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 feel you, eating one thing over and over again is not fun. How did you end up disliking everything? Was it gradual or were you always like that?

      Oh, I was always like that. I figured I’d grow out of it because kids are always picky/fussy eaters and as an adult I’d suddenly like all these foods I hated as a kid. Tried so many variations on all these things I despised over the years thinking certainly there has to be some way it’s prepared that I like. Haha, nope.

      My body and brain is weird.
