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)
  • lentils, beans
  • rice
  • mushrooms

    My very Italian answer is “pizza bianca” . I guess “healthy” depends, but it’s generally OK carbs, it’s delicious and with few Euros you can buy quite a lot (enough for a lunch).

      Yeah that’s pretty Italian answer because no one else would consider pizza dough to be remotely healthy :D

        Really? This type doesn’t have any cheese or topping in general on top. It’s just a carbs meal with very low fat (basically just the oil), essentially, I don’t think it’s inherently unhealthy, and my internet search is all over the place with the results.

        But I am fully aware my knowledge about the topic is extremely limited.
