consider that a chicken died for this and the least you can do is actually enjoy it

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 75 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (5 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

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago (3 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 5 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.

Carbs are required for muscle building.

Tasty food just makes you want to eat more.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Not if you fill up with tasty fibre rich food

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

it genuinely pisses me the fuck off that producers aren't just putting fibre into everything they can, just use the leftover chaff from making white flour!

Fibre is the closest thing i know to a magic cure-all supplement, eat more fibre and basically all the little discomforts related to digestion just fucking disappear and you feel generally better and healthier.
But like it's really annoying to actually get extra fibre without fairly significant changes to your diet or spending extra on fibre-enriched pasta that's engineered to be basically identical to normal pasta, and yet there are plenty of products that seem like adding fibre would make no change at all to the texture, like just put some grain chaff powder in muffins!!!!

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.

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 8 points 5 days ago

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

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

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

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 47 points 6 days ago (6 children)

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

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

It's so insane to me because i've trained myself to be quite in tune with my body's needs.
Turns out animals are evolved to seek out the food they need to function and thus we have the ability to actually enjoy healthy food and even get cravings for things with the specific nutrients we need at that point in time.
Thinking that food shouldn't be pleasurable is like thinking that a well-functioning diesel engine should be making horrid grinding noises and intermittently release smoke from the gaskets..

If you just stop eating so much sugar and as much as possible try to cook things from scratch, or at least eat things where you know precisely what ingredients are in it and how it would have been prepared, you should be able to regain the proper feedback from your gut and have a very healthy relationship to food.

I'd also recommend as often as possible trying to wait to eat until you're really hungry so you can calibrate your sense of hunger (but like, be smart about it, make sure to eat something if you're gonna do stuff that needs calories and stable blood sugar levels), and try to taste everything once so your body can associate that thing with the nutrients in it.
Also also try to sneak in vegetables into every meal in some way, even if it's just adding 2 peas or whatever. That'll psychologically and physically normalize it, so you start wanting it more. Your gut flora is a pretty significant part of what decides your cravings and if you consistently eat something the gut flora will change to things that like digesting those things and thus make you crave them more.

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.

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 6 days ago* (last edited 6 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

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

[–] fleebleneeble@reddthat.com 23 points 6 days ago (3 children)

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.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (7 children)

Is this a general offer? Because that offer sounds kind of incredible.

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

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (4 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.

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

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 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.

A fellow member of boiled, unsalted chicken club!

Don't forget the tabasco.
