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!
A coleague of mine was eating it when he was on a diet to lose weight. It's basically kebab/gyros meat and a vegetable salad with a dresing (usually tzaziki). You have basically no sugar in it, it's just protein and vitamins.
Back in the day it cost like 4-5 € where I live which was pretty cheap for a lunch. Now it'd more like 6-7 € but that's still decent
It's a lot of salt, processed meat, and the salad bar at a normal kebab shop is not filled with nutrient dense vegetables. If it's me, I'd eat it as a takeaway and spread the meat over three days' worth of meals and up the nutrient content with broccoli and nuts.
Ok fair enough about the salt amount, that'll be very probably higher. But I don't know, can you define "processed meat"? Because from how I understand it, kebab is just grilled chicken meat?
