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
Edit: also halve the rice and triple the broccoli

It's like 5 calories of broccoli with all those nutrients, but like 350 of basically empty carbs.

This picture oozes such self-loathing it's concerning.
When you're a fatty, loathing is at an all time high. I was never fat, but I've lost 20 lbs since February eating pretty similar to this
If you were never fat, why are you trying to lose 20+ pounds?
I was 6 ft and 200 lbs. Not obese by any stretch. Trying to lose the dad bod and get back to where I was before I retired from field work.
My goal is to actually be leaner than that, now that I actually have time to pay attention to fitness and diet.

When I was in Chicago went to my Mexican friend's house for home cooked Mexican! Yeah. Looked like that.
Wife: "Ed's guts can't take spicy."
Shoot me.
The dual-use of the English “spice” (ground minerals used to improve flavor) and “spice” (substances that cause food to taste hot and intense) leads to many unfortunate losses of potential flavor.
Gymbro bodysculpt enthusiasts are wild. They won't have tasty meals because they don't want food to be associated with pleasure, only fuel.
Maybe it works, maybe its a clever brain hack, but I suspect its from the same pseuds that brought us nofap
Theres a gym bro at my work who eats the same meals everyday. Its something like plain oatmeal, protein shake, boiled chicken, greek yogurt. Every day, no seasoning, all plain and boring. He was complaining to me that he has to almost force himself to eat sometimes and im just thinking like "yeah no shit, you eat wall paste every meal".

Meh. Everything in moderation. Including self-imposed suffering. Sleep late. Eat tasty food. Have days where you just exist. Fuel is for cars.

Dude, that plate is upside down! The vegetables! So much carbs!
Cutting what? Money? Flavor? Health? Or happiness?
I can't get over the broccoli portion!! I eat 20 times that!
Once during the early pandemic, I inadvertently received 12 pounds of frozen broccoli from a grocery delivery (~5,5 kilos). I have never been too full for a piece of broccoli, and didn’t have the space in my freezer for all of it, so I decided to make a huge amount and see how much I could actually eat.
I made 6 pounds (roasted with spices and a little olive oil) and ate it all without issue. I honestly could have eaten more, but I was a little worried about causing myself digestive issues. I didn't have any, even though doing the math, I was over 4% broccoli afterwards.

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.
my brother in Christ, the blitz is over, the bombs have stopped - you no longer have to eat like this
Hail Satan.
On a cut like this you dont want to actually see your food.
Don't deserve flavour, don't deserve light.
I never understood why all the gym people I see in work seem to eat food with the flavour removed, like some paprika or pepper might ruin everything.
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

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.
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

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
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.

The Good old English-like.
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.
This shit is ridiculous. Being a person should not require such nonsense.
Trying to make weight for something or trying to improve your life?
That meal isn’t improving anyone’s life.
It makes me appreciate the food i eat
Billionaire can afford chicken breast for dinner and other cool stories.
Bro doesn't shit for weeks at a time.
I thought that was mashed potatoes.
