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.
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
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.
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
Tasty food just makes you want to eat more.
Not if you fill up with tasty fibre rich food
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

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.
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
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
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".
I mean i meal prep my lunches, been over 10 years, updated it once recently. Rice, refried black beans, corn, sweet onion, green pepper. Everyday for lunch. I think it's tasty and being able to eat the same thing everyday for years is what makes me a great partner lol
See, that makes sense to me. Its not like your eating that for every meal so you still get variety. And you don't have to think about lunch when getting ready for work/school or whatnot.
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.
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.

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.
Dude, that plate is upside down! The vegetables! So much carbs!
Cutting what? Money? Flavor? Health? Or happiness?

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.
