Is there a food that is cheap, delicious and healthy at the same time?
Is there a food that is cheap, delicious and healthy at the same time?
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!

literally any bagel sandwich, unless the cost of eggs or ham is still rlly high in your area. low effort, immaculate.
I'm pretty sure bagels are terrible for you. The delicous ones anyway.
Okay maybe not terrible but definitely not healthy due to the high sugar content.
strongly depends on your energy output. If you're an endurance athlete or even just exercise with greater than moderate intensity on the reg, it's healthy fuel for the furnace
If you're a sedentary blob flirting with type II diabetes, it's poison
And most of us are indeed super athletes. Definitely no couch potatoes round here.
