lil soy saus? no?

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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."

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 day ago

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?

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 73 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (4 children)

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

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Tasty food just makes you want to eat more.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Not if you fill up with tasty fibre rich food

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (5 children)

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

[–] troglodyke@lemmy.federate.cc 5 points 2 days ago

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.

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.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 days ago

Don't deserve flavour, don't deserve light.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

my brother in Christ, the blitz is over, the bombs have stopped - you no longer have to eat like this

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

On a cut like this you dont want to actually see your food.

[–] Ileftreddit@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

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

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

A fellow member of boiled, unsalted chicken club!

Don't forget the tabasco.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

This shit is ridiculous. Being a person should not require such nonsense.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 63 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This picture oozes such self-loathing it's concerning.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 17 points 4 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] Squirrelsdrivemenuts@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (8 children)

If you were never fat, why are you trying to lose 20+ pounds?

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.

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

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

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

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 22 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Ed needs to suck it up for the sake of all that is Mexican.

Dude, that plate is upside down! The vegetables! So much carbs!

Cutting what? Money? Flavor? Health? Or happiness?

[–] gerryflap@feddit.nl 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah it's insane honestly. My own meals are probably like 70% vegetable or something. A lot of people already eat very few vegetables in my opinion, but OP really goes beyond that in this case. Bland, tasteless, and not even healthy

[–] sockman@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I can't get over the broccoli portion!! I eat 20 times that!

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.

Bro is fucking living in China during the famine, what the fuck

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A whole chicken breast during a famine? That sounds luxurious. I was under the impression that animal protein was incredibly rare.

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.

Billionaire can afford chicken breast for dinner and other cool stories.
