A fellow member of boiled, unsalted chicken club!
Don’t forget the tabasco.
This is from people with the mindset of “food is fuel” and they’re trying to take the pleasure out of eating.
I mean I get it. You’re trying to eat healthy but you don’t have to punish yourself over it. I can make a fantastic salad with air fryer well spiced chicken.
No?
They’re not trying to take the pleasure out of eating, they’re trying to get as massive as they possibly can. Which, yes, does take the pleasure out of eating. However, their mindset is almost certainly “I have eaten this exact meal 647 times in the past year, I must get bigger, I must get bigger, I must get bigger.”
Yes and no. You’re correct about people skipping seasoning while bulking up. Which is what this looks like based on the protein bottle in the background.
I’ve also spoken to someone in person and online that skip seasoning while just trying to eat healthier.
Huh, is there any scientific support for seasoning being bad for you? Like, things like too much salt or MSG — ok there’s no arguing against that. But seasoning period?
This shit is ridiculous. Being a person should not require such nonsense.
The cut would be more successful with more broccoli and no rice, IMO. I’ve had decent success with eliminating all carbs and starches. But for god’s sake use some fucking spices
Billionaire can afford chicken breast for dinner and other cool stories.
Bro is fucking living in China during the famine, what the fuck
A whole chicken breast during a famine? That sounds luxurious. I was under the impression that animal protein was incredibly rare.
Long pig comes into season eventually
Seriously do you need a hug? Or some cheffing? If you’re near los angeles, i can just show up and mix some cheap-ass spices for you.
Are you taking this picture from your bunker?
This is the most depressing lighting I’ve ever seen.
Seriously, it looks like your taking this picture from The Backrooms.
Don’t deserve flavour, don’t deserve light.
On a cut like this you dont want to actually see your food.
my brother in Christ, the blitz is over, the bombs have stopped - you no longer have to eat like this
Hail Satan.
I thought that was mashed potatoes.
Ah, depression.
My depression is the opposite, cooking and baking fatty foods and eating it all
That’s the coping mechanism, effective or otherwise, not the depression.
Which came first, the eating disorder or the depression?
I think depression? Like, whenever I have a depressive episode, I turn into a slop eating bastard, who goes 22hrs without eating and then overeats within minutes. And bland food as a form of self punishment is also a thing.
I never understood why all the gym people I see in work seems to eat food with the flavour removed, like some paprika or pepper might ruin everything.
From personal experience its because we like food way to much. Its harder to eat less when the food tastes good. I found it was much easier when I treated food like an activity I had to force myself to do. I’d just cook some meat and boil some mixed veggies and then force it down. I was eating like 200-500g of pasta and almost a kg of food for dinner I felt so fucking sick after every meal.
At that point even if I seasoned the chicken I was so sick of it that I would still not enjoy it.

And this is why a lot of fit people have terrible eating disorders. Don’t do this.
I’d rather have an eating disorder when I’m choosing to eat clean healthy food in the exact amount i want than eating to much unhealthy food and being unable to control my weight.
However i dont class that as an eating disorder. Its fine to make the choice to put minimal effort into food. Especially when it becomes such an unenjoyable part of the day. And you have to eat big to get big 💪

There is a big gap between eating like shit and putting some pepper on your chicken. If you literally can’t control yourself around food that is a problem and creating unhealthy eating habits to avoid that problem isn’t the solution… Unless you plan on forcing yourself to eat flavourless food for the rest of your life.

It is, and it only gets worse the longer you do it; please find a healthier solution before a bad habit becomes a full blown disorder.

Again putting seasoning on your food isn’t a complicated process, and forcing yourself to eat flavourless food every single day is definitely unhealthy. If you really struggle with self control around food then speak with someone about that problem instead; imagine eating tasty, healthy food in moderation.
I have eaten like this before. Food is fuel and construction material. I need the nutrition to operate my body. Nothing more. The less I think about what it tastes like the more I can think about it as numbers on a spreadsheet.
That being said if I were OP I’d invest in a slow cooker and yes, some paprika. Maybe some dehydrated garlic, cumin, and cayenne as well. This exact dish would be much more appealing if the chicken were shredded and it was in a bowl on top of the rice and broccoli.
Edit: also that’s nowhere near enough broccoli
Mental illness is a struggle we all must face at some point my brother
Food is fuel and construction material.
I live in the netherlands rn and basically at some point in history there was a guy called Calvin who convinced almost everybody to see food this way. To this day traditional dutch food is the blandest, saddest assortment of dishes imaginable. Thank god for immigrants bringing in some flavour.
Just smear some herring on it
You know there’s no calories in normal seasoning?
Tasty food gives dopamine. Dopamine gives you motivation to do stuff.
You’re just unnecessarily doing it on hard mode without at least some pepper
Tasty food just makes you want to eat more.
Not if you fill up with tasty fibre rich food
Everyone has different nutritional needs. If you’re doing chicken broccoli rice, it’s probably because it’s much easier to measure out an exact amount of macronutrients to fit your needs and fill up the rest on broccoli to make it as satiating as needed.
What does that have to do with seasoning?
It’s like 5 calories of broccoli with all those nutrients, but like 350 of basically empty carbs.
Yeah, when I’m cutting I’ll do a fuck load of seitan, cut out the rice and have 300g of broccoli, with a flavoured with a ton of spices. Genuinely tasty and something I enjoy, cutting doesn’t need to be punishment.
Carbs are required for muscle building.
I go with beans. You get carbs and nutrients.
And protein
Take a second. You’re cutting yourself, and your spices, but realize that if you haven’t raped kids, you’re literally, OBJECTIVELY better than the president of the United States of America.
I don’t know if you care, but I think everyone having a hard time needs to hear this. We’re all better than the people in charge of the wealthiest and most dangerous country in the entire world.
This is such a fucking dark time to be alive. It fucking sucks. But, if you’re hurting, you’re likely better than the worst people out there. Because they aren’t hurting. As long as you can feel these things, you likely always will be better. Even if you do nothing but survive, you’re better than these awful fucking monsters that are literally destroying this world for future generations.
Don’t let you or anyone else convince you otherwise. This is for everyone reading this. We’re all fucking better. Make yourself a nice fucking meal, you deserve it.
I will come to your residence and cook for you. I can make something tasty and healthy. Please don’t do this to yourself, I’m having a hard time not driving off a cliff due to witnessing this. I would be upset, but I’m too sad and disturbed. At least, the very least, black pepper. I’m begging you.
Saaaaame. I will feed you good healthy food and it won’t even be sxpensive. I’ll show you how to make it. Fuck, i’ll show you how to put a couple pots and a grow light in your kitchen so you always have some fucking electrolyte heavy veggies to snack on.
Is this a general offer? Because that offer sounds kind of incredible.
I mean, with the economy the way it is, there’s some stipulations, but technically yes lol
How much do you charge for just general friendship?
That part is free, generally
Great! I look forward to our friendship.
Same!
Bro doesn’t shit for weeks at a time.
